Metering error Sample Clauses
A metering error clause defines the procedures and responsibilities for addressing inaccuracies in the measurement of quantities, such as energy, water, or other commodities, delivered under a contract. Typically, this clause outlines how errors are detected, the process for recalculating or correcting the measured amounts, and the timeframe within which adjustments must be made. For example, if a utility meter is found to have over- or under-recorded usage, the clause would specify how the correct amount is determined and how billing adjustments are handled. The core function of this clause is to ensure fairness and accuracy in billing by providing a clear mechanism for resolving disputes arising from measurement errors.
Metering error. If, at any time, any of the Metering Equipment is found to be out of service or registering inaccurately:
(a) it must be adjusted immediately to read accurately; and/or
(b) by an amount exceeding one percent at a reading corresponding to the average rate of flow for the period since the immediately preceding test, an adjustment must be made for any period of inaccuracy definitely known or agreed upon or, if not known or agreed upon, for 50% of the period since the last validation test (Adjustment Period). The quantity of Gas delivered during the Adjustment Period must be estimated:
(i) by using the data recorded by any check-measuring equipment, if installed and accurately registering;
(ii) if the check-measuring equipment is not installed or registering accurately, by correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by validation, test, or mathematical calculation; or
(iii) if neither the method in clause 20.5(b)(i) nor the method in clause 20.5(b)(ii) is feasible, by estimating the quantity and/or quality delivered, based on previous deliveries under similar conditions during a period when the equipment was registering accurately.
Metering error. Errors in metering of more than plus or minus three percent of full scale shall be corrected and a billing adjustment pursuant to Section Eleven shall be made.
