Month in accordance with the Gas Measurement Committee Report No.
3 prepared by the Gas Measurement Committee of the American Gas

Processors Association (GPA) publications 2261-86 and 2286-86 or
any subsequent revisions. The values of the physical constants
for the Gas components shall be determined by the use of the
physical constants listed in Table 5 of AGA-3. For components of
the Gas not listed in said Table 5, GPA publication 2145-88 or any
subsequent revision shall be used.
(c) Non-Hydrocarbon Tests. Tests shall be made to determine the total
sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, mercaptans, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and

vapor content of such Gas by approved standard methods in general
use in the gas industry. Tests shall be made frequently enough to
assure that the Gas continuously conforms to the quality
