Common use of Measurement Accuracy Verification Clause in Contracts

Measurement Accuracy Verification. (a) Orifice plate and tube inspection will be made at each meter calibration unless a facility shut-down is required, in which case the approval of both Parties shall be required for such inspection. The accuracy of Gatherer’s Measurement Facilities shall be verified by meter calibrations and orifice inspections shall be conducted, according to API 21.1 and API 14.3, once every three Months or more often as determined by Gatherer. Measuring equipment found to be measuring and/or reading inaccurately shall be adjusted to measure and read accurately. Gatherer shall give Shipper at least two Days’ notice of upcoming tests. If Shipper fails to have a representative present, the results of the test shall nevertheless be considered accurate until the next test. Gatherer shall, upon written request of Shipper, conduct a test of Gatherer’s measuring equipment and/or a chromatographic analysis, provided that in no event shall Gatherer be required to test its equipment or conduct a chromatographic analysis more frequently than once a Month. All tests of such measuring equipment or such chromatographic analysis shall be made at Gatherer’s expense, except that Shipper shall bear the expense of any tests or chromatographic analysis made at Shipper’s request. (b) If, during any test of the Measuring Facilities, an adjustment or calibration error is found which results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated flow rate through each meter run in excess of two percent of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator), then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period during which the error existed (and which is either known definitely or agreed to by Shipper and Gatherer) and the total flow for the period redetermined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7. If the period of error condition cannot be determined or agreed upon between Shipper and Gatherer, such correction shall be made over a period extending over the last one half of the time elapsed since the date of the prior test revealing the two percent error. (c) If, during any test of any Measurement Facilities, an adjustment or calibration error is found which results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated hourly flow rate which does not exceed two percent of the adjusted flow rate, all prior recordings and electronic flow computer data shall be considered to be accurate for quantity determination purpose.

If Shipper Producer fails to have a representative present, the results of the test shall nevertheless be considered accurate until the next test. Gatherer shall, upon written request of ShipperProducer, conduct a test of Gatherer’s measuring equipment and/or a chromatographic analysis, provided that in no event shall Gatherer be required to test its equipment or conduct a chromatographic analysis more frequently than once a Month.

(b) If, during any test of the Measuring Measurement Facilities, an adjustment or calibration error is found which results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated flow rate through each meter run in excess of two percent [***]% of the adjusted flow rate (whether positive or negative and using the adjusted flow rate as the percent error equation denominator), then any previous recordings of such equipment shall be corrected to zero error for any period during which the error existed (and which is either known definitely or agreed to by Shipper Producer and Gatherer) and the total flow for the period redetermined in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.7. If the period of error condition cannot be determined or agreed upon between Shipper Producer and Gatherer, such correction shall be made over a period extending over the last one half of the time elapsed since the date of the prior test revealing the two percent error[***]% error (but not to exceed [***] months). (c) If, during any test of any Measurement Facilities, an adjustment or calibration error is found which results in an incremental adjustment to the calculated hourly flow rate which does not exceed two percent [***]% of the adjusted flow rate, all prior recordings and electronic flow computer data shall be considered to be accurate for quantity determination purpose.
