This International Standard describes the specifications for the quantitative analysis of the following components of
natural gas:
helium
hydrogen
argon
oxygen
nitrogen
carbon dioxide
saturated hydrocarbons from C~ to Cs
hydrocarbon fractions from C6 upwards
aromatic compounds as benzene and toluene
The gas-chromatographic methods determine the components in the following ranges:
oxygen: 0.001% (n/n) to 0.5 % (n/n)
helium: 0.001% (n/n) to 0.5 % (n/n)
hydrogen: 0.001% (n/n) to 0.5 % (n/n)
argon: 0.001% (n/n) to 0.5 % (n/n)
nitrogen: 0.001% (n/n) to 40 % (n/n)
carbon dioxide: 0.001% (n/n) to 40 % (n/n)
methane: 50 % (n/n) to 100 % (n/n)
ethane: 0.02 % (n/n) to 15 % (n/n)
propane: 0.001% (n/n) to 5 % (n/n)
higher hydrocarbons: The method can measure hydrocarbon components from 10.6 (n/n) up to their
maximum concentration, which is compatible with the requirement that the gas is
free from hydrocarbon condensate at any pressure in the range 1 x 102 kPa to
7 x 103 kPa.
