1、Designation: D2420 12Standard Test Method forHydrogen Sulfide in Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gases (LeadAcetate Method)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D2420; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the yea

2、r of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method2covers the detection of hydrogensulfide in liquefied petroleum (LP) gases. The sensitivity of t

3、hetest is about 4 mg/m3(0.15 to 0.2 grain of hydrogen sulfide per100 ft3) of gas.1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with i

4、ts use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

5、:4GPA 2140 Liquefied Petroleum Gas Specifications and TestMethods3. Summary of Test Method3.1 The vaporized LP gas is passed over moist lead acetatepaper under controlled conditions. Hydrogen sulfide reactswith lead acetate to form lead sulfide which produces acoloration on the paper varying from ye

6、llow to black, depend-ing upon the amount of hydrogen sulfide present.4. Significance and Use4.1 Liquefied petroleum gases and their products of com-bustion must not be unduly corrosive to the materials withwhich they come in contact. The potential personnel exposurehazards of H2S also make the dete

7、ction and measurement ofhydrogen sulfide important, even in low concentrations. Inaddition, in some cases the odor of the gases must not beobjectionable. (See Specification D1835 and GPA 2140.)5. Interferences5.1 Methyl mercaptan, if present, produces a transitoryyellow stain on the lead acetate pap

9、Acetate Test PaperCommercially available testpaper is satisfactory. Alternatively, the test paper may beprepared by dipping strips of smooth filter paper in 5 %aqueous lead acetate solution and removing the excess solutionwith a clean blotter. The strips of paper shall be approximately50 mm long and

16、. Sampling7.1 (WarningBecause of the chemical activity and physi-cal adsorptive properties of hydrogen sulfide, it is highlydesirable to connect the test apparatus directly to the samplesource and perform the test in the field, rather than transferringsample into a sample cylinder for testing in the

17、 laboratory.Experience has demonstrated that the hydrogen sulfide concen-tration in liquefied petroleum gas is frequently depleted beforeanalysis, even when the sample is contained in scrupulouslyclean, stainless steel sample cylinders. The exact oppositecondition, an increase in sulfide concentrati

18、on, has been foundto occur when samples of liquefied petroleum gas containingno hydrogen sulfide are transferred into sample cylinders thathave not been properly cleaned and which have been in usewith samples containing hydrogen sulfide. This demonstratesthat data obtained on samples tested for hydr

19、ogen sulfide in thelaboratory can be unreliable.)8. Procedure8.1 Connect the test apparatus to the sample source by useof a minimum length of clean, non-reactive and non-absorptivestainless steel tubing or other material that safely contains thepressure, resists being cut or torn, and has been teste

21、lead acetate paper on the hook in the test cylinder sothat the paper is held midway between the watchglass and thebottom of the upper stopper.8.6 Expose the moist paper for exactly 2 min to the gas flowof 2.3 6 0.2 L/min. Remove the test paper and proceed asdescribed in Section 9.9. Report9.1 Compar

22、e the exposed test paper with a moist test paperthat has not been exposed.9.1.1 In the absence of distinct coloration, report hydrogensulfide as “negative” (“pass”).9.1.2 If there is a distinct coloration, wait 5 min beforeinterpreting the test results. If, after 5 min, the paper has nodistinct colo

23、ration, rate the sample as “negative” (“pass”). Ifthe paper does have a distinct coloration after 5 min, rate thesample as “positive” (“fail”).NOTE 2The presence of methyl mercaptan in liquefied petroleum gasgives a distinct yellow stain to the test paper which, however, fadescompletely in less than
