GPA - STD 2261

Analysis for Natural Gas and Similar Gaseous Mixtures by Gas Chromatography

inactive
Organization: GPA
Publication Date: 1 January 2000
Status: inactive
Page Count: 19
scope:

1.1 This method covers the determination of the chemical composition of natural gas and similar gaseous mixtures within the ranges listed in Table I.

1.2 Components sometimes associated with natural gases, i.e., helium, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide and hydrogen are excluded from the main body of the method. These components are determined and made a part of the complete compositional data by following special techniques outlined in Appendix A.
