GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
3.5 Measuring Equipment. Unless otherwise agreed
upon, Transporter will install, maintain and
operate or cause to be installed, maintained and
operated measuring stations equipped with orifice
meters and other necessary metering and measuring
equipment by which the volumes of natural gas
received and delivered under an executed Service
Agreement shall be determined. Orifice meters
shall be installed and operated in accordance
with said Gas Measurement Committee Report No. 3.
Shipper may install check measuring equipment at
its own cost and expense; provided, however, that
such equipment shall be so installed as not to
interfere with the operations of Transporter.
Transporter and Shipper, in the presence of each
other, shall have access to the other's measuring
equipment at all reasonable times, but the
reading, calibrating and adjusting thereof and
the changing of charts shall be done only by the
equipment owner or such owner's representative,
unless otherwise agreed upon. Both Transporter
and Shipper shall have the right to be present at
the time of any installing, reading, cleaning,
changing, repairing, inspecting, testing,
calibrating, or adjusting done in connection with
the other's measuring equipment; provided,
however, failure of either Transporter or Shipper
to witness such an operation shall not affect the
validity of such operation in any way. The
records from such measuring equipment shall
remain the property of their owner, but upon
request, each will submit to the other its
records and charts, together with calculations
therefrom, for inspection, subject to return
within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.
The measurement equipment of Shipper shall be for
check purposes only and, except as expressly
provided in an executed Service Agreement, shall
not be used in the measurement of natural gas for
purposes of such Service Agreement.
3.6 Calibration and Test of Meters. The accuracy of
all measuring equipment shall be verified by
Transporter at reasonable intervals, and, if
requested, in the presence of representatives of
Shipper, but neither Transporter nor Shipper
shall be required to verify the accuracy of such
equipment more frequently than once in any thirty
(30) day period. If neither Transporter or
Shipper at any time desires a special test of any
measuring equipment, it will promptly notify the
other and Transporter and Shipper shall then
cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the
accuracy of such equipment.
3.7 Correction of Metering Errors. If, upon any
test, any measuring equipment is found to be
inaccurate, such equipment shall be adjusted
immediately to measure accurately. If upon any
test the measuring equipment in the aggregate is
found to be inaccurate by two percent (2%) or
more at a recording corresponding to the average
hourly rate of natural gas flow for the period
since the last preceding test, previous
