ISO 6570:2001

Natural gas - Determination of potential hydrocarbon liquid content - Gravimetric methods

This International Standard describes the principles of, and general requirements for, two gravimetric methods for

the determination of the potential hydrocarbon liquid content of natural gas, or similar gas, at a given pressure and

temperature. Two methods are specified in this International Standard to determine the amount of condensate in a

sample gas:

_ Method A: a manual weighing method;

_ Method B: an indirect automatic weighing method based on the indication of the pressure difference caused by

the accumulation of condensate in a vertical tube.

The manual weighing method is a reference method for the indirect automatic method (Method B). The indirect

automatic method (Method B) is suitable for semi-continuous control.

NOTE Unless otherwise specified, gas volumes are in cubic metres at 273,15 K and 101,325 kPa.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
