Common use of Specific Gravity Clause in Contracts

Specific Gravity. The specific gravity of the gas flowing through the well meter, or meters, shall be determined by Buyer, or, at Seller's election, by joint tests, at intervals of appoximately twelve (12) months as may be practicable under the circumstances. All such determinations of specific gravity shall be made by a standard gravity balance or by a gravitometer employing the "Momentum Method" of specific gravity determinations as described in Chapter VII, "Determination of Specific Gravity", of the American Gas Association Gas Measurement Manual, 1963 edition. The specific gravity of the gas flowing through each meter determined by either of the above-mentioned methods shall be used in computing the volume of gas delivered through such meter. The specific gravity determined by any test shall apply from the date the test was taken until the date of the next test.
