GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3. MEASUREMENT (Cont'd.)
3.5 Specific Gravity
The specific gravity of the gas shall be determined once a month
or as frequently as necessary for reasonably accurate
determination by means of suitable apparatus. Such specific
gravity so obtained shall be used for the purpose of measurement
of gas.
3.6 Volumetric Measurement Computations
The deviation of the gas from Ideal Gas Laws shall be calculated
following the recommendations of the ANSI/API 2530 "Orifice
Metering of Natural Gas and Other Related Hydrocarbon Fluids"
(A.G.A. Report No. 3) including the A.G.A. Manual for
Determination of Supercompressibility Factors of Natural Gas or
the A.G.A.
Transmission Measurement Committee Report No. 8 "Compressibility
and Supercompressibility for Natural Gas and Other Hydrocarbon
Gases." If the composition of the gas is such as to render the
above procedure inapplicable, other methods for determination of
the deviation factors, mutually agreed upon by Shipper and
Transporter, shall be used.
3.7 Total Heating Value
The total heating value of the gas per cubic foot shall be
determined for any month by taking the average of the heating
values as recorded each day by a calorimeter or chromatograph or
as determined by chromatographic analysis of a sample of gas, or
methods outlined in AGA Gas Measurement Report No. 5, or any
other method mutually agreed upon by Transporter and Operator.
