Common use of Gas Measurement Testing Clause in Contracts

Gas Measurement Testing. The accuracy of Gas measuring equipment shall be tested and verified by the owner of such equipment as follows: (a) The accuracy of the measuring equipment shall be verified at least quarterly or when an error is suspected and, if so requested, in the presence of representatives of both Parties. In the event either Party shall notify the other Party that it desires a special test of any measuring equipment, the Parties shall cooperate to secure a prompt verification of the accuracy of such equipment. [***]. (b) If, upon testing, any measuring equipment, excluding Gas chromatographs and recording calorimeters, is found to be in error in the aggregate by not more than [***] percent ([***]%) for Btus, previous recordings of such equipment shall be considered accurate in computing deliveries of Gas, but such equipment shall be adjusted at once to record accurately. If recording calorimeters are accurate within [***] percent ([***]%) to Btus per cubic foot of Gas, the reading will be considered accurate, but the equipment shall be adjusted immediately to record accurately. (c) If, upon test, any measuring equipment shall be found in the aggregate to be inaccurate by an amount exceeding [***] percent ([***]%) for Btus per cubic foot of Gas in the case of Gas chromatographs and recording calorimeters, at a recording corresponding to the average hourly rate of flow for the period since the last preceding test, such equipment shall be adjusted at once to record accurately, and any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to [***] error for any period that is known definitely, but in case the period is not known or agreed upon, such correction shall be for a period extending over [***] of the time elapsed since the date of the last test.

[***]The expense of any such special test, if requested, shall be borne by the Party requesting the test if the measuring equipment tested is found to be in error by not more than two percent (2%). (b) If, upon testing, any measuring equipment, excluding Gas chromatographs and recording calorimeters, is found to be in error in the aggregate by not more than [***] two percent ([***]2%) for Btus, previous recordings of such equipment shall be considered accurate in computing deliveries of Gas, but such equipment shall be adjusted at once to record accurately. If recording calorimeters are accurate within [***] two percent ([***]2%) to Btus per cubic foot of Gas, the reading will be considered accurate, but the equipment shall be adjusted immediately to record accurately.
