shall be analyzed by means of a suitable gas chromatograph.
The analysis or the average of such analyses shall determine
the molecular composition of the LNG. A calibration of the
chromatograph utilized shall be performed before the analysis
of the samples taken from each unloading. Representatives of
Pan National shall have the right to be present, but the
absence of a duly summoned representative of Pan National shall
not prevent the carrying out of calibration and sampling. Such
calibration shall be effected with the aid of a gaseous mixture
having a known composition closely similar to the vaporized LNG
being measured.
12.5 The Gross Heating Value of LNG shall be calculated on
the basis of its molecular composition and of the molecular
weights and the thermies per kilogram of each of its
components. The values of physical constants to be used for
such calculations are set forth in Annex A hereto. Such values
shall be revised by mutual agreement from time to time to
conform with those contained in the most current publications
of the National Bureau of Standards of the United States or
those of any corresponding national institution the standards
