GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3. MEASUREMENT (Cont'd.)
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 chromato-
graph 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.
4. MEASURING EQUIPMENT
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 displace-
ment, 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 speci-
fications 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.
