GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(d) Where measurement is by other than orifice,
turbine or ultrasonic meter, standards commonly acceptable in the
natural gas industry and mutually agreeable to the parties shall be
used in the determination of all factors involved in the computation
of Gas volumes.
17.8 ELECTRONIC FLOW COMPUTERS
It is recognized that electronic or other types of flow
computers have been developed that permit the direct computation of
Gas flows. MEP may use such devices for custody transfer.
17.9 NEW MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
If, at any time, a new method or technique is developed
with respect to Gas measurement or the determination of the factors
used in such Gas measurement, such new method or technique may be
substituted by MEP. MEP shall promptly inform all Shippers of any new
techniques adopted.
17.10 CALIBRATION AND TEST OF METERS
The accuracy of all measuring equipment shall be
verified by MEP at reasonable intervals, and if requested, in the
presence of representatives of Shipper, but MEP shall not be required
to verify the accuracy of such equipment more frequently than once
per Month. If either party at any time desires a special test of any
measuring equipment, it will promptly notify the other, and the
parties shall then cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the
accuracy of such equipment. If, upon testing, the challenged
equipment is found to be in error, then it shall be repaired and
calibrated. The cost of any such special testing, repair and
calibration shall be borne by the party requiring the special test if
the percentage of inaccuracy is found to be one percent (1%) or less;
otherwise, the cost shall be borne by the party operating the
challenged measuring equipment.
17.11 CORRECTION OF METERING ERRORS
If, upon any test, any measuring equipment is found to
be inaccurate, such equipment shall be adjusted immediately to
measure accurately. If, upon any test, the measuring equipment in the
