Specifies two methods for the determination of mercury, including dimethyl mercury, elemental mercury and diethyl mercury, in natural gas. Method A prescribes sampling at atmospheric pressure, using absorption in potassium permanganate solution followed by reduction of mercury ions and subsequent analysis by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry. Method B prescribes sampling at atmospheric or higher pressure using adsorption of mercury on silver/gold followed by desorption and subsequent analysis by flameless atomic absorption spectrometry.
