A method is described for measuring the absolute disintegration rate of 87.2-day sulfur-35. ( β -Emax = 0.167 Mev). The sulfur to be assayed is converted to sulfur dioxide by ignition of barium sulfate with red phosphorus in an atmosphere of oxygen. The sulfur dioxide is then mixed with methane and counted in an internal gas proportional counter.
