WARNING—The application of this part of GB/T 16781 may involve hazardous substances and their operation and equipment. However, this section does not address all safety issues associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this section to institute appropriate safety and health practices and to determine the suitability or scope of application prior to use. This part specifies the method for the determination of mercury content in natural gas by chemical adsorption sampling method impregnated with silica gel, and the sampling pressure is up to 40MPa. This method is applicable to the determination of mercury in natural gas within the range of 0.1μg/m3 to 5000μg/m3. This method is applicable to the sample gas whose hydrogen sulfide mass in the sample volume is less than 2Omg; and the total amount of liquid hydrocarbon condensate is less than 1Og/m3 under the sampling conditions. The amount collected was determined by measuring the absorbance or fluorescence of mercury vapor at a wavelength of 253.7 nm.
