GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(continued)
b. If any gas offered for receipt or delivery hereunder shall fail
at any time to conform to the standards set forth herein, except
heating value, then the receiving party may, at its option, refuse
to accept receipt pending correction by the delivery party. Gas
that does not conform to the stated specifications for heating
value will not be accepted.
c. Heating Value
(1) No gas received or delivered hereunder shall have a total
heating value at Point of Delivery below 960 British Thermal
Units (Btu) per cubic foot.
(2) The total heating value shall be determined by a recording
calorimeter or by other methods which Vitco may employ from
time to time mutually agreed upon by Shipper and Vitco.
3. STANDARDS FOR MEASUREMENT AND TESTS
-----------------------------------
The measurement and tests of quality of gas received and delivered
hereunder shall be governed by the following:
a. The volumes shall be measured by orifice meters installed and
operated and computations made as prescribed in ANSI/API 2530
of the American National Standards Institute as now and from
time to time amended or supplemented
b. The unit of volume for purposes of measurement (other than heat
content) shall be one (1) cubic foot of gas at a temperature of
sixty degrees (60) Fahrenheit and at a pressure base of fourteen
and sixty-five hundredths (14.65) psia.
c. The unit of measurement for the purpose of transportation and
billing shall be one (1) MMBtu. The number of MMBtu's delivered
shall be determined by multiplying the number of Mcf of gas
delivered, measured on the basis hereinafter specified, by the
total heating value of such gas, in British Thermal Units per
cubic foot, adjusted for differences in pressure base, as defined
in Section 1 above, and by dividing the product by one thousand
(1,000).
