GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(d) Where measurement is by other than orifice, turbine

industry and mutually agreeable to the parties shall be used in the
determination of all factors involved in the computation of Gas
volumes.
17.8 ELECTRONIC FLOW COMPUTERS
It is recognized that electronic or other types of flow
computers have been developed that permit the direct computation of
Gas flows. KMLP may use such devices for custody transfer.
17.9 NEW MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
If, at any time, a new method or technique is developed
with respect to Gas measurement or the determination of the factors
used in such Gas measurement, such new method or technique may be
substituted by KMLP. KMLP shall promptly inform all Shippers of any

17.10 CALIBRATION AND TEST OF METERS
The accuracy of all measuring equipment shall be verified
by KMLP at reasonable intervals, and if requested, in the presence of
representatives of Shipper, but KMLP shall not be required to verify
the accuracy of such equipment more frequently than once per Month. If
either party at any time desires a special test of any measuring

borne by the party operating the challenged measuring equipment.
17.11 CORRECTION OF METERING ERRORS
If, upon any test, any measuring equipment is found to be
inaccurate, such equipment shall be adjusted immediately to measure
