GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(e) The specific gravity of the gas shall be
determined for any day by taking the arith-
metic average of the hourly reading or by
transmitting the gravity directly to the flow
computer from a gravitometer of approved type
which shall be checked at least once each
month by the use of an Edwards balance or by
any other industry accepted method, by chro-
matographic analysis using the compound values
contained in the American Gas Association Gas
Measurement Committee Report No. 3. Septem-
ber, 1985 (ANSI/API 2530 approval May, 1985),
or any revision thereof; provided, however,
that where quantities of gas metered will not
be materially affected by doing so, the
specific gravity of the gas for any day may be
determined by any other recognized method
which may be practicable in the circumstances.
3.4 All orifice meter volumes shall be computed in
accordance with the American Gas Association Mea-
surement Committee Report No. 3, September, 1985
(ANSI/ API 2530 approval May, 1985), including the
Appendices thereto and modifications and amendments
thereof.
3.5 All turbine meter volumes shall be computed in
accordance with the American Gas Association Trans-
mission Measurement Committee Report No. 7, Novem-
ber, 1984, including the Appendices thereto and
modifications and amendments thereof.
3.6 In the cases where measurements shall be other than
orifice or turbine meters all necessary factors for
proper volume determination shall be applied.
3.7 Spot gas samples taken from the pipeline system for
purposes of determining or deriving quantitative
values that will be used in the computation of gas
