GENERAL TRANSPORTATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

3. QUALITY (Continued)
3.3 Determination of Gross Heating Value and Component Analysis
(Continued)
party questions such results within a period of sixty (60) days
following the determination thereof, then such results shall be
deemed conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. Btu
measuring equipment shall be installed at a location or locations
where the gross heating value of the gas received or delivered
hereunder may be reasonably determined.
3.4 Failure to Meet Specifications. Transporter or Shipper shall
have the right, exercisable by the giving of written or oral notice
to the other party, to require the remedy of any failure to deliver
or redeliver gas in accordance with the quality specifications set
forth in Sections 3.1 and 3.2. In the event gas delivered by either
party fails to conform to such specifications, the receiving party
may refuse to accept all or any portion of such gas.
4. MEASUREMENT OF GAS
4.1 Unit of Volume. The unit of volume for the purpose of
measurement shall be one (1) cubic foot of gas at a base temperature
of 60øF. and at a base pressure of 14.73 p.s.i.a. Such measured
volumes, converted to Mcf, shall be multiplied by their gross
heating value per cubic foot and divided by 1,000 to determine
MMBtu's received and delivered hereunder. The unit of volume for
the purpose of balancing total receipts and deliveries of gas
hereunder shall be one MMBtu.
4.2 Computation of Volume. The volumes of gas measured hereunder
shall be computed in accordance with specifications prescribed by
the American Gas Association, applied in a practical and appropriate
manner. The absolute atmospheric pressure used for volume
calculations shall be the average atmospheric pressure determined by
calculations based on the actual elevation above sea level of the
meter at the place of measurement.
