GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
6.6 (Continued)
measurement error in the individual
measurement equipment affected, previous records
of such equipment shall be considered accurate.
(b) If, upon test, any such above
measurement equipment is found to be inaccurate
to the extent that it causes the registered or
computed quantities of the instrument(s) so
affected to be in error by an amount exceeding
two percent (2%) at a recording corresponding to
the average hourly rate of flow through the
instrument(s) in the period since the last
preceding test, then any registrations,
integration, or computed quantities of such
instruments affected shall be corrected to zero
error for any part of the period since the last
test in which such error is known to have
existed or which may be agreed upon by
representatives of the parties. In case the
period of such error is not known definitely or
agreed upon, such correction shall be for a
period of one-half (1/2) of the elapsed time
since the date of the last test, but not
exceeding a correction period of sixteen (16)
days where orifice measurement equipment is used
in the computation of quantity and not exceeding
forty-five (45) days where other measurement
equipment is used.
(c) If no tests have been performed to
determine the degree of inaccuracy, or
measurement equipment is out of service, the
quantity of gas shall be estimated:
(1) By using the registration of
any existing and agreed upon check
equipment considered by parties concerned
to be registering accurately, or, in the
absence of such facilities;
(2) By correcting the error if
the quantity or percentage of error is
ascertainable by calibration, test, or
mathematical calculation, or if neither of
the two foregoing procedures are
applicable;
