and/or energy content computed in accordance with the standards of the

frequency of measurement for both the heating value and the specific
gravity shall be at Transporter's sole option provided they are in
general use within the natural gas transmission industry.
4.6 New Measurement Techniques. If at any time during the term
hereof a new method or technique is developed with respect to gas
measurement, or the determination of the factors used in such gas
