GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(G) When orifice meters are used, the computation of quantities of gas
delivered shall be in accordance with the recommendations as
published by the American Gas Association's Report No. 3, Revised
- 1990, and the ANSI/API 2530, First Edition, and any subsequent
amendments thereof as may be mutually agreed upon by Customer and
Pipeline.
(H) The total heating value shall be determined by gas chromatographic
analysis or by other methods mutually agreed upon by Customer and
Pipeline. The arithmetic average of the heating value recorded
each 24-hour day and as adjusted to conditions as specified in
Section 1 of the General Terms and Conditions, or continuous
instantaneous heating value measurements, shall be used for
computations requiring energy characteristics.
(I) The deviation of the gas delivered hereunder from Boyle's and
Charles' Laws shall be determined by gas chromatographic analysis
or by analytical methods mutually agreed upon by Pipeline and
Customer. The amount of nitrogen and carbon dioxide contained in
the gas shall be determined, for the purpose of
determining the deviation factors, every three (3) months or at
such other intervals as is found expedient.
7.2 Measurement Operations and Equipment
Measurement Operations shall include, but not be limited to, the
operation, calibration and testing of the RTU, transducers, chart recorders,
meter runs, gas quality monitoring devices, control valves and responsibility for
quantity calculations for the measurement facility. Pipeline may allow Customer
or third parties the right to perform Measurement Operations, provided that such
Customer or third party furnishes to Pipeline all data required for flow
computation and can meet Pipeline's measurement and operating standards; and
provided, further, such Customer or third party which performs such Measurement
Operations shall be responsible for any and all associated costs of such
Measurement Operations unless otherwise agreed by Pipeline and Customer or third
party. Measurement equipment shall consist of the necessary metering devices,
designed and installed in accordance with the current published recommendations
of the American Gas Association or as mutually agreed upon by Customer and
Pipeline, measurement equipment shall be installed, operated and maintained at or
on each interconnection of Pipeline's facility with facilities of third parties;
provided, however, Pipeline shall have the right to require and may install or
cause to be installed electronic gas measurement and control equipment at all
points.
(A) Where orifice measurement equipment is to be used, it shall
utilize "Flange Tap Connections" and the static pressure shall be
measured at the down-stream flange tap connection.
(B) An electronic temperature transducer, a recording thermometer or
other mutually acceptable device shall be installed at the
measuring station to continuously measure the flowing gas
temperature.
