Testing of gaseous fuels and other gases - Determination of the content of sulphur compounds - Part 1: Field of application, terms
Prüfung von gasförmigen Brennstoffen und sonstigen Gasen - Bestimmung des Gehaltes an Schwefelverbindungen - Teil 1: Anwendungsbereich, Begriffe
Overview
This standard applies to gaseous fuels and other gases according to DIN 1340, except natural gas for which a general introduction is specified in DIN EN ISO 6326-1. The content of sulphur compounds is determined: a) for gas quality control; b) for desulphurisation plant monitoring; c) for assessment of the risk of corrosion for gas supply and gas usage. Examination of gases for inorganic and organic sulphur compounds is made in accordance with their intended purpose. The standard provides an overview of the determination methods. This document has been prepared by Working Committee NA 062-05-73 AA "Gasanalyse und Gasbeschaffenheit" ("Gas analysis and gas quality") at DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing (NMP) in collaboration Technical Committee Mineralöl- und Brennstoffnormung (FAM) (Standardization Committee for petroleum, fuels, lubricants and related products (FAM)) at NMP, the Mining Standards Committee (FABERG) and Standards Committee Gas Technology (NAGas) at DIN.
