GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. DEFINITIONS (Continued)
o The term "Daily Contract Dekatherm-miles" shall mean the
amount of Shippers Contract Dekatherm-miles on a
100 Dekatherm-miles basis per day.
o The term "Daily Delivery Quantity" of a Shipper for any day
shall mean such Shipper's Btu Adjusted Maximum Delivery
Quantity for a Point of Delivery or such lesser quantity as
Company shall from time to time determine, with not less than
four hours' notice thereof to Shipper, on a basis which
reflects seasonal variations in the capacity of Company's
facilities and reductions in the capacity of such facilities
resulting from maintenance operations and does not
discriminate among Shippers.
o The term "Dekatherm" (Dth) shall mean a unit of heating value.
The standard quantity for nominations, confirmation and
scheduling is dekatherms per gas day in the United States,
gigajoules per gas day in Canada and gigacalories per gas day
in Mexico. (For reference 1 dekatherm = 1,000,000 Btu's; and
1 gigajoule = 1,000,000,000 joules; and 1 gigacalorie =
1,000,000,000 calories.) For commercial purposes, the standard
conversion factor between dekatherms and gigajoules is
1.055056 gigajoules per dekatherm and between dekatherms and
gigacalories is 0.251996 gigacalories per dekatherm. The
standard Btu is the International Btu, which is also called the
Btu(IT); the standard joule is the joule specified in the SI
system of units. (The International Btu is specified for use
in the gas measurement standards of the American Gas
Association, the American Petroleum Institute, the Gas
Processors Association and the American Society for Testing
Materials. For non-commercial purposes, these associations
note that the exact conversion factor is 1.05505585262
Gigajoules per Dekatherm.) Daily Dekatherms shall be the
quantity units used by Company for nominations, confirmations,
scheduling, allocating, and imbalance activity. [1.3.14]
