本方法用于使用日本仪器公司（NIC）汞分析仪测定液态烃中的总汞。该方法可适用于含有0.1至10000 ng/mL（m/v-ppb）的样品。结果可以转换为质量ppb。附录包含一个程序，碳氢化合物中汞物种的测定，可用于区分元素汞、有机非离子汞和离子（无机和有机）汞物种。

This method is for determining total mercury in liquid hydrocarbons using a Nippon Instruments Corporation (NIC) Mercury Analyzer. The method may be applied to samples containing 0.1 to 10,000 ng/mL (m/v-ppb). The results can be converted to mass-ppb. The APPENDIX contains a procedure, Determination of Mercury Species in Hydrocarbons, which can be used to differentiate between elemental mercury, organic non-ionic mercury and ionic (both inorganic and organic) mercury species.
