GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
5. MEASUREMENT AND MEASUREMENT EQUIPMENT (Cont'd.)
5.2 (a) The volume of Gas delivered hereunder at each Point of Receipt
and Point of Delivery shall be calculated by means of an
electronic flow computer located at, or by the processing of
meter charts recorded at, each Point of Receipt or each Point
of Delivery, in either case in the following manner:
(i) When the measuring equipment is an orifice meter, the
flow of Gas through the meter shall be computed in the
manner recommended In AGA Report No. 3, properly using
all factors set forth therein.
(ii) When the measuring equipment is a turbine meter, the
volume of Gas delivered through the meter shall be
computed in the manner recommended in AGA Report No. 7,
properly using all factors set forth therein.
(iii) When the measuring equipment is a positive displacement
meter, the volume of Gas delivered through the meter
shall be computed by properly applying, to the volume
delivered at flowing gas pressures and temperatures,
correction factors for (1) absolute static pressure, (2)
flowing Gas temperature, and (3) compressibility ratio.
(b) The volume of Gas delivered hereunder shall be computed using
the standards and factors determined as follows:
(i) The unit of volume for the purpose of measurement shall
be an Mcf of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit and a
pressure of 14.73 pounds per square inch absolute. For
the purpose of determination of equivalent quantities
hereunder, the dekatherm equivalent of such unit of
volume shall be determined by multiplying each such unit
of volume by the total heating content of the Gas
delivered hereunder (adjusted to a common temperature
and pressure base) and by dividing the result by one
thousand (1,000).
(ii) The average absolute atmospheric (barometric) pressure
at each Point of Receipt and each Point of Delivery
shall be assumed to be fourteen and four-tenth (14.4)
pounds per square inch, irrespective of the actual
