20、ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, go
21、vernmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IE
22、C Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the memb
23、er bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 6326-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 193, Natural gas, Sub
24、committee SC 1, Analysis of natural gas. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 6326-1:1989), which has been technically revised due to the replacement of ISO 6326-2:1981 and ISO 6326-4:1994 by ISO 19739:2004, Natural gas Determination of sulfur compounds using gas chromatog
25、raphy, which gives the requirements needed to perform a sulfur analysis by gas chromatography. This second edition also provides a general introduction to ISO 19739. ISO 6326 consists of the following parts, under the general title Natural gas Determination of sulfur compounds: Part 1: General intro

27、 rights reserved v Introduction Sulfur compounds can occur naturally in natural gas and remain as traces after treatment, or they may have been injected deliberately to allow subsequent olfactory detection for safety reasons. The standardization of several methods for the determination of sulfur com
28、pounds in natural gas is necessary in view of the diversity of these compounds hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, tetrahydrothiophene (THT), etc. and the requirements of the determinations (required uncertainty, measurement at the well head, at clean-up plant or in the transmission pipes, etc.). In
29、 order to enable the user to choose the method most appropriate to his needs and to perform the measurements under the best conditions, ISO 6326 has been prepared in several parts. This part of ISO 6326 gives a rapid comparison of standardized methods and therefore provides information for the choic
30、e of the method. The other parts of ISO 6326 and ISO 19739 describe in detail the various standardized methods.

32、ard if handled without precautions. 1 Scope This part of ISO 6326 gives a brief description of standardized methods that can be used for the determination of sulfur compounds in natural gas. The principle of each method is described generally, the range of concentrations for which the method is suit
33、able is indicated, and the analytical range and precision of each method is given. It should enable the user to select judiciously the proper method for the application being considered. Sulfur analysis is performed in order to determine a) total sulfur, b) sulfur contained in specific groups (e.g.
34、thiol sulfur), c) individual sulfur compounds, and d) specific groups of sulfur compounds. The standardized methods available in the field of sulfur analysis are the Wickbold combustion method: for total sulfur determination (ISO 4260), the Lingener combustion method: for total sulfur determination
35、(ISO 6326-5), gas chromatography: for determination of individual sulfur compounds (ISO 19739), and potentiometry: for determination of hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide and thiol compounds (ISO 6326-3). Other methods for the determination of sulfur compounds are available but are not considered he
36、re. Table 1 gives an overview of the standardized methods which can be used for the determination of total sulfur, hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, tetrahydrothiophene, thiol sulfur, individual thiols, individual thiophenes, individual organic sulfides and disulfides.

44、e very important in the analysis of sulfur compounds. Sulfur compounds have a strong tendency to adsorb on to, or to chemically react with, different materials of construction. Low contents of sulfur compounds in samples and calibration gas mixtures put demands on the sampling procedure in order to
45、ensure that the sulfur compounds in correct quantity reach the analytical device.

46、 that the sample represents the bulk of the gas at the time of sampling. Sampling and sample transfer shall be in accordance with ISO 10715. Purge time should be long enough to obtain replicate stable analytical results within the acceptable standard deviation of the analyser. The purge time needed
47、depends on the type and concentration of the sulfur compound, materials in contact with the gas, and the gas flow rate through the sample loop. Sampling of the gas can be carried out in two different ways: at atmospheric pressure in a silanized glass vessel, equipped with polytetrafluoroethylene (PT
48、FE) plugs or a sampling bag made of material inert to sulfur compounds, such as polyvinylfluoride (PVF) or PTFE, which has been flushed with dilute hydrochloric acid, subsequently flushed with distilled water and dried; after the glass vessel is filled with the gas under study, it should be shielded
49、 from daylight; under pressure in a stainless steel or aluminium cylinder, if the sulfur content exceeds 50 mg/m 3 . 3.2 Safety precautions Safety precautions required in handling gas cylinders with pressurized flammable gas mixtures are described in ISO 10715. If a pressure regulator is to be connected to the cylinder, always use a regulator whose materials of construction are recommended by the producer of the calibration gas.
