GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
4. MEASUREMENT
The volume and total heating value of the gas shall be determined as
follows:
a. The unit of gas transported shall be one million (1,000,000) Btu's
(as defined in Section 1 hereof) (MMBtu). The number of MMBtu's
received or delivered shall be determined by multiplying the
number of cubic feet of gas received or delivered, measured on the
measurement basis herein after specified, by the total heating
value of such gas, in British thermal units per cubic foot, and by
dividing the product by a million (1,000,000).
b. Unit of Volume. The unit of volume for the purpose of measurement
and for the determination of total heating value shall be one
cubic foot of gas at a temperature of sixty (60) degrees
Fahrenheit and an absolute pressure of 14.73 psia.
c. Assumed Atmospheric Pressure. The average atmospheric pressure
shall be assumed to be fourteen and seventy-three hundredths
(14.73) pounds per square inch absolute (14.73 psia) irrespective
of actual elevation or location of the point of delivery above sea
level or variations in such atmospheric pressure from time to
time.
d. Flowing Temperature. At points of delivery where the installation
of a recording thermometer is provided, the arithmetic average of
the temperature of the gas, flowing through the meters, as
recorded, shall be used in computing gas volumes; where recording
thermometers, correcting indices or temperature compensating
meters are not installed, the temperature of the gas shall be
assumed to be the climatological standard normal average monthly
temperature as established by the nearest National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration weather bureau and published by the
U. S. Department of Commerce.
e. Orifice Meters. When orifice meters are used the volumes
delivered shall be computed in accordance with the American Gas
Association's Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3 (API 14.3)
latest edition.
