GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3. MEASUREMENT
3.1 Unit of Measurement and Metering Base. The
volumetric measurement base shall be one (1)
cubic foot of natural gas at a pressure base of
fourteen and seventy-three hundredths (14.73)
psia, a temperature base of sixty degrees (60ø)
Fahrenheit, and without adjustment for water
vapor content. Except as otherwise provided by
law, the volume of natural gas delivered at the
point of receipt and at the point of delivery
hereunder shall be computed in accordance with
the standards prescribed in Gas Measurement
Report No. 3 of the American Gas Association,
dated April 1955, as revised September 1969, and
from time to time amended, supplemented or
superseded. All quantities of natural gas given
herein, unless otherwise stated, are in terms of
the unit of volume set forth above in this
Section 3.1.
3.2 Atmospheric Pressure. For the purpose of
measurement, calculations and meter calibration,
the average absolute atmospheric (Barometric)
pressure for each point of receipt and point of
delivery shall be as specified in an executed
Service Agreement irrespective of variations in
natural atmospheric pressure from time to time.
3.3 Temperature. The temperature of the natural gas
shall be determined at the point of measurement
by means of recording thermometers of standard
manufacture acceptable to Transporter and Shipper
to be installed in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in Gas Measurement Report
No. 3, as aforesaid, and the arithmetic average
of hourly temperatures of day shall be used
in computing temperatures of the natural gas
during each day.
3.4 Specific Gravity. The specific gravity of the
natural gas shall be determined at the point of
measurement by one of the following methods:
(a) By means of a properly installed recording
gravitometer of standard manufacture
acceptable to Transporter and Shipper, or
(b) By use of a portable specific gravity
balance of standard manufacture acceptable
to Transporter and Shipper. Such deter-
mination to be made at least once every six
(6) months, or
(c) By means of a calculated specific gravity
derived from a gas chromatograph
determination.
