GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
which is currently available or may become available at
any time during the term of the Transportation Agreement.
4.2 Such measurement, both volumetric and thermal, shall be
at a temperature of 60 degrees 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 currently available and in accordance
with any subsequent amendments thereof accepted and
agreed upon between the parties if orifice meters are
used. If positive displacement or turbine meters
are used, measurement shall be performed in accordance
with AGA-7 as currently available and with any subsequent
amendments thereof accepted and agreed upon between the
parties. Btu content shall be determined by taking the
arithmetic average of the heating value as recorded by
a chromatograph or other method of determination generally
accepted in the industry. Flowing temperatures shall
be determined by a recording thermometer or EGM.
4.3 All measuring stations shall be acceptable to Kansas
Pipeline 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.
4.4 Either Kansas Pipeline or Shipper may witness the
installation or maintenance of the other's equipment.
Neither Kansas Pipeline nor Shipper shall be required to
verify accuracy more often than once during any 30 Day
period. If, upon test, accuracy is found to be within 2%
by volume (chromatograph within 0.5%), measurements taken
by such equipment shall be assumed to have been Accurate.
Any error exceeding these percentages shall 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 16 Days.
4.5 Where wellhead compressors have been installed, the
maximum permissible Square Root Error Indicator (SREI)
shall be no greater than 1% for volumes less than 2 Mmcf
