QUANTITY MEASUREMENT AND QUALITY TESTING Clause Samples

QUANTITY MEASUREMENT AND QUALITY TESTING. (a) Determination of Quantity. Seller, Seller's agent or Seller's carrier, as applicable, shall own, operate and maintain metering equipment at the Delivery Point where quantities of Ethylene delivered to Buyer shall be measured and its temperature and pressure recorded. The primary device for each meter installation shall be a metering tube constructed in accordance with the specifications recommended by ANSI/API Report 2530 and AGA3/API 14.3, as amended or supplemented from time to time. Sharp-edged orifice plates shall be retained with a standard orifice fitting (senior type) equipped with flange type pressure taps. The diameter of the orifice in the plate shall be in standard one-eighth inch increments. The density of the Ethylene shall be determined by calculation performed continuously using API Report 2565 "Density of Ethylene". The flowing temperature and pressure determined from Seller's meters will be used for the calculation of density. The volume of Ethylene delivered at the Delivery Point for each day shall be determined by reference to an on-site ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ electronic micro-processor which shall receive the electronic signals from the primary metering device and calculate pounds of Ethylene through the orifice meter using the latest version of AGA3/API 14.3, as amended or supplemented from time to time. A day shall be deemed the period from 7:00 a.m. on one day to 7:00 a.m. on the next succeeding day. Correction factors and calibrations from such meter readings for the purpose of determining daily quantities of Product delivered will conform with procedures set forth below. If the parties are unable to agree upon the quantity delivered, quantities will be determined by a mutually agreed upon inspector. The parties will be bound by the inspector's determination and will equally bear inspection costs. Buyer shall provide, at its sole cost, quantities of steam, electricity, nitrogen, and instrument air required for the operation of the metering equipment.
