GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

4. MEASUREMENT
Unless otherwise agreed to by Transporter and Operator, Transporter shall
perform the measurement of the quantities of gas received into or
delivered from an interconnect point on Transporter's system.
The methods of computing measured quantities shall be: (1) for orifice
meters, in accordance with the recommendations set forth in ANSI/API
2530, approved May 1985, or, alternatively, AGA-3, or as such
recommendations may be amended from time to time, (2) for any gas measured
by displacement or turbine meters, the methods of computation shall be in
accordance with the procedures outlined in the latest addition of AGA Gas
Measurement Manual, Part 7 "Measurement Calculations and Data Gathering",
or as such manual may be amended from time to time.
The quantities of gas received or delivered hereunder shall be measured
according to Boyles's and Charles' Laws for the measurement of gas under
varying pressures and temperatures with deviation therefrom as provided in
paragraph (F) of this section, and shall be determined as follows:
A. The unit of volume for the purpose of measurement shall be one (1)
cubic foot of gas at a base temperature of sixty (60) degrees
Fahrenheit, and at a pressure base of fourteen and seventy-three
hundredths (14.73) pounds psia.
B. The unit of measurement for the purpose of billing shall be one (1)
dekatherm (dth) consisting of one million (1,000,000) British Thermal
Units. The number of dekatherms delivered shall be determined by
multiplying the number of cubic feet of gas delivered, measured on
the measurement basis hereinafter specified, by the total heating
value of such gas, in British Thermal Units per cubic foot, as
defined in Section 1.13 above, and by dividing the product by one
million (1,000,000).
C. The average absolute atmospheric pressure shall be determined for the
point of receipt or delivery.
