VERSION 3.0.0

GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

    

    7.3.  MEASUREMENT 
    
          7.3.1.  The volume and the total heating value of Gas received and 
                  delivered by Transporter shall be determined as follows:
    
                  1. The unit of Gas received and delivered by Transporter 
                     shall be an MMBtu.
    
                  2. The unit of volume, for the purpose of measurement, 
                     shall be one cubic foot of natural gas at a pressure base 
                     of fourteen and seventy-three one-hundredths (14.73) 
                     pounds per square inch absolute, a temperature base of 
                     sixty degrees (60o) Fahrenheit (519.67o R Absolute), 
                     and without adjustment for water vapor content.
    
                  3. Measurement Unit.  The Measurement Unit shall be one MMBtu 
                     of natural gas and shall be calculated by multiplying the 
                     volume delivered in Mcf by a fraction, the numerator of 
                     which is the Heating Value and the denominator of which 
                     is 1,000.
    
          7.3.2.  The factors required to determine the volume of Gas received, 
                  such as pressure, temperature, specific gravity, 
                  supercompressibility and deviations from Boyle's Law, shall 
                  be calculated in accordance with the applicable American Gas 
                  Association Bulletin and any modifications and amendments 
                  thereof, and applied in a practical manner.
			   
          7.3.3.  Resolving Differences at the Delivery Point(s) – If the testing 
                  and calibration performed at the Delivery Point(s) pursuant to 
                  Section 7.4 show that any item of equipment installed by 
                  Transporter does not conform to the accuracy requirements of 
                  Section 7.4, all previous readings of that item of equipment shall 
                  be corrected to zero error for any period which the equipment was 
                  known to be in error.  If this period is not known, the correction 
                  shall be made for a period extending back one-half of the time 
                  elapsed since the last testing and calibration performed.   
                  During any period when any item of equipment installed at the 
                  Delivery Point(s) by Transporter is inoperable or known to be 
                  in error, the measurements provided by the corresponding item of 
                  equipment installed by Shipper, if any, shall be used if determined 
                  to be accurate.  If neither item of equipment is operable or 
                  accurate, or available in the case of Shipper's equipment, the 
                  specification to be measured shall be determined by the parties 
                  hereto on the basis of the best data available using the first of 
                  the following methods which is feasible:
    
                  1. By correcting the error if the percentage of error is 
                     ascertainable by calibration, test, or mathematical 
                     calculations; or
    
                  2. By comparing deliveries made during the preceding period under 
                     similar delivery conditions when the equipment was registering 
                     accurately.
