GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
f. Specific Gravity. Specific gravity of the gas delivered shall be
determined with an Edwards or other standard type gravity balance
by test made as near the first of each month as practicable; or by
a recording gravitometer of standard manufacture installed at a
suitable location; or by use of on-line chromatography at a
suitable point on Transporter's line with the calculations based on
GPA Standard 2172; or by any other industry-approved method if
agreed to by Transporter and Shipper. When a recording
gravitometer is provided, the daily arithmetic average of the
gravity as recorded shall be used in computing gas volumes.
g. Total Heating Value. The total heating value of the gas
delivered/received shall be determined by Transporter by using a
gas chromatograph or other standard type of recording calorimeter,
which shall be so located, at a suitable point on Transporter's
line, in order that the Btu content of the gas delivered/received
may be properly obtained or by use of on-line chromatography at a
suitable point on Transporter's line with calculations based on GPA
Standard 2172; or by any other industry-approved method if agreed
to by Transporter and Shipper. When a recording calorimeter or
system chromatograph is used upstream of Transporter's Compressor
Station 16, the daily arithmetical average of the readings from the
record so obtained shall be corrected to the basis of measurement
provided, the result being the heating value, to the nearest whole
Btu of the gas delivered during that period. When a system
chromatograph is used downstream of Transporter's Compressor
Station 16, the daily arithmetical average of readings from the
record so obtained shall be corrected to the basis of measurement
provided, the result being the heating value, to the nearest tenth
Btu of the gas delivered during that period. In the event that
Transporter's recording calorimeter or system chromatograph is not
operating properly, the total heating values shall be determined by
estimating an appropriate Btu for that location based upon the best
information available.
h. Moisture Content. For receipts and deliveries upstream of
Transporter's Compressor Station 16, the water vapor content of
the gas shall be determined at least once monthly, and shall be
properly taken into account in determining the total heating value
until the next following determination of water vapor content. For
receipts and deliveries downstream of Transporter's Compressor
Station 16 the water vapor content of the gas shall be determined
daily and shall be taken into account in determining the total
heating value. Gas with a water vapor content of seven (7) pounds
of water vapor per one thousand (1000) Mcf or less shall be
considered dry gas.
