Standard Test Method for Sulfur in Petroleum Gas by
Oxidative Microcoulometry 1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 3246; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

1. Scope

1.1 This test method covers determination of sulfur in the
range from 1.5 to 100 mg/kg (ppm by mass) by weight in
hydrocarbon products that are gaseous at normal room temperature and pressure.
NOTE 1—The test method has been tested cooperatively only on
high-purity ethylene gas. Precision data have not been developed for other
products.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the
safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
