shall be one MMBTU of gas measured as provided
below.
3.2 Quantity and Heating Value Determination - The
quantity and heating value of gas delivered and
received pursuant to executed service agreements
under any rate schedules shall be determined as
follows:
(a) The unit of volume for the purpose of
measurement shall be one cubic foot of gas at
60 degrees Fahrenheit and an absolute
pressure of 14.73 pounds per square inch.
(b) The average absolute atmospheric pressure
shall be assumed to be thirteen (13.0) pounds
to the square inch, irrespective of actual
elevation or location of the Delivery Point
or Receipt Point above sea level or
variations in such atmospheric pressure from
time to time.
(c) The temperature of the gas passing the meters
when necessary for computing gas quantities,

temperature of the gas flowing through the
meters.
The arithmetic average of the temperature
recorded each day shall be used in computing
gas quantity, or instantaneous temperature
measurements may be applied to metering
instruments for quantity computation, or an
assumed temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit
may be used.
