Common use of Determination of Gross Heating Value Clause in Contracts

Determination of Gross Heating Value. The GHV shall be determined by means, which are approved under applicable regulations as described in AC 3.6, such means currently being on-line gas chromatographs using ISO 6974 and calculated using ISO 6976-1995 at combustion reference temperature of 25°C and normal volumetric conditions, as specified in AC 3.6. The accuracy of the measurement equipment provided or caused to be provided by the RMFO at the Redelivery Point shall be verified and calibrated by the RMFO at intervals as set forth in AC 3.6. Shipper shall have the right to attend such verifications. Except in case of Emergency, the RMFO shall give notice to Terminal Operator and Terminal Operator to Shipper, ten (10) Working Days before the start of any such test. All tests of such measurement equipment shall be made at the RMFO's expense. If the aggregate error in any of the individual metering lines is found to exceed the technical tolerance of the applicable measurement equipment in such metering line being one decimal zero (1.0) per cent then any previous recordings of such measurement equipment shall be corrected to zero (0) error for any period which is known definitely, or agreed upon, but in case the period is not known or agreed upon, such corrections shall be for a period extending over one-half of the time elapsed since the date of the last test, or another correction period specified in AC 3.6. Fuel Gas calculations pursuant to GC 4.1 and GC 5.3 and energy balance calculations pursuant to AC 3.1.6.3, over such period shall be corrected accordingly. Following each test, the measurement equipment shall be adjusted if found to be necessary to record accurately and said measurement equipment shall be secured against unauthorised manipulations by personnel of Shipper, Terminal Operator and the RMFO. If, for any reason, meters are faulty or out of service, so that the Quantity of the Natural Gas redelivered at the Redelivery Point cannot be ascertained or computed from the reading thereof, the Natural Gas made available during the period during which such meters are out of service or faulty shall be determined upon the basis of the best data available, using only the first feasible method of those listed hereunder in the same order:

Determination of Gross Heating Value. The GHV of the Fuel Gas shall be determined by means, which are approved under applicable regulations as described in AC 3.6, such means currently being use of on-line gas chromatographs using chromatographs, which are operated in accordance with applicable standards and regulations, which are as of the Effective Date, ISO 6974 for molar gas composition, and calculated using ISO 6976-1995 6976 for GHV computation at combustion reference temperature of 25°C and normal volumetric conditions, as specified in AC 3.6.  Tests and correction of errors The accuracy of the measurement equipment provided or caused to be provided by the RMFO at the Redelivery Point Terminal Operator for measurement of Fuel Gas shall be tested and verified and calibrated by the RMFO Terminal Operator at intervals reasonable intervals, not to exceed six (6) Months as set forth in AC 3.6Terminal Operator's operating procedures. Shipper shall have the right to attend such verifications. Except in case of Emergency, the RMFO Terminal Operator shall give notice to Terminal Operator and Terminal Operator to Shipper, Shipper at least ten (10) Working Days Days’ notice before the start of any such testtest or verification. Flow metering devices and flow totalizers used for Fuel Gas metering shall be recalibrated with intervals, normally not exceeding six (6) Years. All tests of such measurement equipment Fuel Gas flow metering devices shall be made at the RMFOTerminal Operator's sole expense. If the any aggregate error in any one of the individual Fuel Gas flow metering lines devices is found to exceed the technical tolerance of the applicable measurement equipment for such device, which shall in such metering line being one any case be lower than three decimal zero (1.03.0) per cent for Fuel Gas flow meters, or lower than three decimal zero (3.0) per cent for Fuel Gas totalisers, then any previous recordings of such measurement equipment shall be corrected to zero (0) error for any period which is definitely known definitely, or agreed upon, but in case the period is not known or agreed upon, such corrections shall be for a period extending over one-half of the time elapsed since the date of the last test, or another correction period specified in AC 3.6. Fuel Gas calculations pursuant to GC 4.1 and GC 5.3 and energy balance calculations pursuant to AC 3.1.6.3, over such period shall be corrected accordingly. Following each test, the measurement equipment shall be adjusted if found to be necessary to record accurately and said measurement equipment shall be secured against unauthorised manipulations by personnel of Shipper, Terminal Operator and the RMFOOperator. If, for any reason, meters Fuel Gas meter(s) are faulty or out of service, so that the Quantity of the Natural Fuel Gas redelivered at the Redelivery Point used cannot be ascertained or computed from the reading thereof, the Natural Fuel Gas made available used during the period during which such meters Fuel Gas meter(s) are out of service or faulty shall be determined upon the basis of the best data available, using only the first feasible method of those listed hereunder in the same order:: by using the registration of any check measurement equipment if installed and accurately measuring; or by adjusting for the error, if the extent of the error is ascertainable by calibration, test or mathematical calculation; or by estimation on the basis of used Fuel Gas during preceding periods under similar conditions when the equipment was registering accurately. For the purpose of said estimation, the Parties may agree upon using data from measurements not being performed by the equipment provided under GC 4.3.4; or by Terminal Operator’s daily aggregate energy balance calculation sheet.
