Analysis of the core content of the standard
Technical elements | Type I analysis mode | Type II analysis mode |
Sources of uncertainty | Certified gas reference materials, analysis process, data fitting | Random factors + linear response system errors |
Calculation formula | Equation (1) Multi-parameter joint evaluation | Equation (2)(3) Slope correction method |
Detector requirements | FID uncertainty ≤2%, TCD ≤10% (Appendix B) |
Evolution of key technologies
Main improvements compared to the 2011 version:
- New methane subtraction method (Appendix A): Calculate the uncertainty after subtraction by using equations (A.1)-(A.3)
- Optimize response factor evaluation: Clarify the normative requirements for FID/TCD relative response factors
- Introduce GLS algorithm: Generalized least squares method reduces the conservative error of multiple normalization
Implementation recommendations
Key points for laboratory operation
- Regular verification of response linearity is required when using gas chromatograph (Clause 5.3.2.4)
- For C6+ components, the successive normalization method (Equation 16) is recommended
- When calculating the expanded uncertainty, it is recommended that the inclusion factor k be 2 (corresponding to 95% confidence level)
Typical application scenarios
This standard is particularly suitable for:
- Composition analysis in LNG custody transfer measurement
- Verification of pipeline natural gas energy metering system
- Component monitoring in the development of unconventional natural gas
