GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4. MEASURING EQUIPMENT
4.1 Installation and Operation: Transporter or the measuring party
will be responsible for the construction, ownership, operation, and
maintenance of any measuring facilities necessary to accomplish the receipt
of gas by Transporter for the account of Shipper at the Receipt Points and
the delivery of gas for the account of Shipper at the Delivery Points.
Transporter and Shipper shall at all reasonable times have access to the
premises of the other for measuring equipment related inspections. Only the
measuring party will operate the measuring equipment, and collect
measurement information.
4.2 Testing and Repair of Measurement Equipment:
(a) Transporter and Shipper shall keep their own measuring equipment
accurate and in repair, making periodic tests to verify the condition of
meter tubes, orifice plates, and flow computers. Periodic tests shall be
performed, at a minimum, on a quarterly basis for Receipt Points and
Delivery Points. Transporter and Shipper will give each other or their
designees seven calendar days notice prior to tests of the measuring
equipment so that the other party may have its representative present if
desired. Either party shall have the right to challenge the accuracy of the
other party's measurement equipment, and when challenged, the equipment
shall be tested, calibrated and, if required, repaired by the challenged
party. The challenged party will bear the cost of the special test if the
inaccuracy is found to cause the total measured Btus during a month to be
more than 1% of the total measured Btus, but if the inaccuracy is found to
cause the total measured Btus to be 1% or less of the total measured Btus,
the challenging party will bear the cost of the special test.
(b) If upon any equipment test the inaccuracy and all prior
inaccuracies resulting from other equipment tests during the same period are
found to cause the total measured Btus to be in excess of 1% of the total
measured Btus and the total measurement adjustment for a month is greater
than 100 Dth, the registrations shall be corrected for a period extending
back to the time the inaccuracy occurred, if ascertainable, and if not
ascertainable, then back one-half of the time elapsed since the last
equipment calibration date; otherwise prior measurements shall be deemed to
be correct. Any measuring equipment found to be measuring inaccurately in
any percentage shall be adjusted at once to read accurately.
