General Terms and Conditions
present. If, after notice, Shipper fails to have a representative present, the results of the tests and adjustments shall be considered to be accurate until the next tests and adjustments have been made. All tests of such measuring and testing equipment shall be made at MIPL(C)L's expense, except that Shipper shall bear the expense of tests made at its request if the inaccuracy in the measurement of the volume or Heating Value of the Gas is less than the amount specified in Paragraph 5.3 hereof. 5.3 If at any time any of the measuring or testing equipment is found to be out of service or registering inaccurately, it shall be adjusted at once to read as accurately as possible. The volume or Heating Value of the Gas desired to be measured or tested during the period in which such equipment was registering inaccurately or was out of service shall be estimated by:
(a) using the data recorded by any check measuring equipment installed and accurately registering, or
(b) if such check measuring equipment is not installed or is not registering accurately, by correcting the error by calibration tests or mathematical calculations, or (c) if the methods provided in Subsections (a) and (b) cannot be used, by estimations based upon deliveries under similar conditions during the period in which the equipment was registering accurately. If the period in which such equipment was registering inaccurately or was out of Service is not known or agreed upon it shall be deemed to have been registering inaccurately or out of Service for a period of one-half (1/2) of the elapsed time since the last test.
If it is determined in accordance with the foregoing that during such period:
(i)
the volume measurement at the average hourly rate of flow is in error in an amount exceeding two percent (2%), or the Heating Value measurement is in error in an amount exceeding one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%),
(ii)
then the previous readings of the measurement equipment or the recording calorimeter, as the case may be, shall be corrected to zero (0) error in the manner set forth above and all records and billings for such a period recalculated according to zero (0) error. No corrections in the records or billings shall be made for errors less than the limits specified above.
