A method is described for the determination of total sulfur in natural gas containing not more than 1.0 grain S/100 ft/sup 3/ and not more than 0.5 percent C/sub 5/ or heavier hydrocarbons. A measured sample of gas is mixed with humidified hydrogen and passed over a platinum gauze at 900/sup 0/C in a tube furnace to convert organic sulfur in the gas to hydrogen sulfide. The hydrogen sulfide is absorbed in a zinc acetate solution and is determined by the methylene blue procedure. (BLM)
