14. MEASUREMENT
14.1 Quantities delivered hereunder at each Point of Receipt and Point
of Delivery will be determined by either Trunkline or Shipper,
whichever is responsible for measurement at such point as listed
on Exhibit A of the Service Agreement. The heating value,
specific gravity and supercompressibility (Mol percent of nitrogen
and carbon dioxide) values of the Gas shall be determined at the
beginning of receipt and delivery and annually thereafter, or at
more frequent intervals as may be found necessary in practice.
Water content shall be determined at intervals as found necessary
in practice.
14.2 Such measurement, both volumetric and thermal, shall be at a
temperature of 60ø Fahrenheit and at a pressure of 14.73 psia dry,
and on the basis of the methods prescribed and published by the
American Gas Association in conjunction with the ANSI/API 2530
Report as now and any subsequent amendments thereof accepted and
agreed upon between the parties if orifice meters are used, and in
accordance with generally accepted industry practices, as mutually
agreed upon, if positive displacement or turbine meters are used.
The Btu content shall be determined by taking the arithmetic
average of the heating value as recorded by recording calorimeter
or other method of determination generally accepted in the
industry. Flowing temperature shall be determined by a recording
thermometer or EGM.
14.3 All measuring stations shall be mutually acceptable to Trunkline
and Shipper and installed and operated to conform to recognized
industry standards, using flange connections and, where necessary,
pulsation dampening equipment. Auxiliary equipment shall be
installed so as not to interfere with the measurement of either
party.
14.4 Either Trunkline or Shipper may witness the installation or
maintenance of others' equipment. Neither Trunkline nor Shipper
shall be required to verify accuracy more often than once during
any thirty (30) day period. If, upon test, accuracy is found to
be within two percent (2%) by volume (chromatograph/calorimeter
within 0.5%), such equipment shall be assumed to be accurate. Any
error exceeding these percentages will require correction to zero
error of previous recordings back to the date error began. If the
beginning date of error is unknown, correction shall extend to
one-half the time since the last test, not to exceed sixteen (16)
days.
