GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

4. MEASUREMENT
4.1 Quantities of Gas received or delivered hereunder at each
Point of Receipt and Point of Delivery shall be determined
by either of Panhandle or Shipper responsible for
measurement at such point, as listed on Exhibit A of the
Service Agreement.
The heating value, specific gravity and super-
compressibility (Mol percent of nitrogen and carbon
dioxide) values of the Gas shall be determined at the
beginning of receipt and delivery and annually thereafter,
or at such frequency as may be found acceptable in
practice. Water content shall be determined at intervals
as found necessary in practice. Shipper may be required
to test, at the receipt meter, for bacteria or bacterial
agents if Panhandle so requires. Tests for bacteria or
bacterial agents shall be conducted on samples taken from
the meter run or other appurtenant piping using American
Petroleum Institute (API) test method API-RP38 or any
other test method acceptable to Panhandle which is
currently available or may become available at any time
during the term of the Transportation Agreement.
4.2 Such measurement, both volumetric and thermal, shall be at
a temperature of 60ø Fahrenheit and at a pressure of 14.73
psia dry, and on the basis of the methods prescribed and
published by the American Gas Association in conjunction
with the ANSI/API 2530 Report as currently available and
in accordance with any subsequent amendments thereof
accepted and agreed upon between the parties if orifice
meters are used. If positive displacement or turbine
meters are used, measurement shall be performed in
accordance with AGA-7 as currently available and with any
subsequent amendments thereof accepted and agreed upon
between the parties. Btu content shall be determined by
taking the arithmetic average of the heating value as
recorded by recording calorimeter or other method of
determination generally accepted in the industry. Flowing
temperature shall be determined by a recording thermometer
or EGM.
