GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4. MEASURING EQUIPMENT
4.1 Unless otherwise agreed upon, Transporter or Transporter's
designee will install, as necessary, maintain and operate
measuring stations at or near the receipt and delivery point(s)
properly equipped with displacement, turbine or orifice meters,
gas samplers, chromatographs and other necessary measuring
equipment by which the quantity of gas delivered hereunder shall
be measured. The cost of Transporter's or Transporter's
designee's installing any incremental measuring facilities
necessary with respect to the receipt and delivery of gas shall
be borne by the Shipper(s) of such gas, unless otherwise
expressly agreed. Transporter may require Shipper or Operator to
provide records and/or charts from orifice meters measuring
deliveries of gas by Shipper to Transporter within the period of
time prescribed by Transporter.
Orifice meters shall be installed and operated in accordance with
specifications recommended in Gas Measurement Committee Report
No. 3 of the American Gas Association, as the same may be amended
from time to time, applied in a practical manner. Displacement
or turbine meters, if used, shall be installed and gas volumes
computed, in accordance with generally accepted industry
practices.
4.2 Demand Meters
If the Rate Schedule according to which gas delivered to Shipper
is billed includes a demand charge based on the Dth taken by
Shipper on the day of greatest delivery during a billing month,
Transporter shall use meters suitable for determining such
greatest daily delivery.
4.3 Check Meters
Shipper or Operator may install, maintain and operate, at its own
expense, such check measuring equipment as it shall desire. Such
equipment shall be so installed as not to interfere with the
operation of Transporter's measuring equipment at or near the
points of delivery. The Transporter shall have access to such
check measuring equipment at all reasonable hours, but the
reading, calibrating and adjusting thereof and the changing of
charts shall be done only by the Shipper or Operator.
