I I I CENTERPOINT ENERGY ENTEX BEAUMONTIEAST TEXAS DIVISION RATE SHEET GENERALSERVIC~LARGEVOLUME RATE SCHEDULE NO. GSLV-597-A MEASUREMENT The term "cubic foot of gas" for the purpose of measurement of the gas delivered and for all other pwposes is the amount of gas neccssary to fill a cubic foot of space when the gas is at an absolute pressure of 14.65 pounds per square inch and at a base temperature of sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit The tenn "Met" shall mean 1,000 cubic feet of gas. The Sales Unit shall be one Mcf. Asswned Atmospheric Pressure - The average atmospheric pressure shall be asswned to be fourteen and seven- tenths (14.7) pounds per square inch, irrespective of actual elevation or location of the point of delivery above sea level or variation in such atmospheric pressure from time to time. Orifice Meters - When orifice meters are used for the measurement of gas, such orifice meters shall be cons1Iucted and installed, and the computations of volume made, in accordance with the provisions of Gas Measurement Committee Report No.3 of the American Gas Association as revised September, 1969 C"A.G.A. Report No.3), with any subsequent amendments or revisions which may be mutually acceptable. The temperature of the gas shall be detennined by a recording thermometer so installed that it may record the temperature of the gas flowing through 1he meter or meters. The average of the record to the ne~t one (1) degr= Fahrenheit, obtained while gas is being delivered, shall be the applicable flowing gas temperature for 1he period under consideration. The specific gravity of the gas shall be determined by a recording gravitometer owned and operated by the pipeline company from whom Company purchases its gas, so installed that it may record the specific gravity of the gas flowing through the meter or meters; provided, however, that the results of spot tests made by the pipeline company with a standard type specific gravity instrument shall be used at locations where the pipeline company does Dot have a recording gravitometer in service. If the recording gravitometer is used, the average of the record to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001), obtained while gas is being delivered, shall be the applicable specific gravity of the gas for the period under consideration. If the spot test method is used, the specific gravity of the gas delivered h~under shall be determined once monthly, the result obtained, to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001), to be applicable during the succeeding billing month. Adjustment for the effect of supercompressibility shall be made according to the provisions of A.G.A. Report No.3, hereinabove identified, for the average conditions of pressure, flowing temperature and specific gravity at which the gas was measured during the period under consideration, and with the proportionate value of each carbon dioxide and nitrogen in the gas delivered included in the computation of the applicable supercompressibility metars. Company shall obtain appropriate carbon dioxide and nitrogen fraction values as may be required from time to time. Positive Displacement Meters and Turbine Meters . When positive displacement meters andlor nubine meten; are used for the IDCll5urement of gas, the flowing temperature of the gas metered shall be asswned to be sixty (60) degrees Fahrenheit, and no correction shall be made for any variation therefrom; provided however, that company shall have the option of installing a recording thennomeler, and if company exercises such option, conections shall be made for each degree variation in the applicable flowing temperature for the period under consideration.
