Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 19739 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 193, Natural gas, Subcommittee SC 1, Analysis of
natural gas.
This first edition of ISO 19739 cancels and replaces ISO 6326-2:1981 and ISO 6326-4:1994, of which it
constitutes a technical revision.
This corrected version of ISO 19739:2004 incorporates the following corrections:

 page 2, 3.3: a prime has been added to the second R in the formula and the description in parenthesis;

ISO 19739:2004(E)
Introduction
Sulfur compounds may occur naturally in natural gas and remain as traces after treatment, or they may have
been injected deliberately to allow subsequent olfactory detection for safety reasons.
The standardization of several methods for the determination of sulfur compounds in natural gas is necessary
in view of the diversity of these compounds (hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, tetrahydrothiophene, etc.) and
the requirements of the determinations (e.g. required uncertainty, measurement at the drilling head, clean-up
plant or in transmission pipes).
In order to enable its user to choose the most appropriate method for his/her particular needs and perform the
measurements under the best conditions, this International Standard gives the requirements needed to
perform a sulfur analysis.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 19739:2004(E)

Natural gas — Determination of sulfur compounds using gas
chromatography
WARNING — Some sulfur compounds can constitute a serious health hazard.
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the determination of hydrogen sulfide, carbonyl sulfide, C to C thiols,
1 4
sulfides and tetrahydrothiophene (THT) using gas chromatography (GC). Depending on the method chosen
from those given in the annexes, the application ranges for the determination of sulfur compounds can vary,
but whichever of the methods is used, the requirements of this International Standard apply.
2 Normative references
