PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Committee AG-010, Natural Gas Quality Specifications
to supersede AS 4564—2003 (AG 864-2003). It serves as a specification for general
purpose natural gas, with an emphasis on the safety of the gas for use in natural gas
appliances and equipment and for use as fuel in natural gas vehicles.
The quality specification provided by this Standard defines the requirements for providing a
natural gas suitable for transportation and for general purpose use and provides the range of
gas properties consistent with safe operation of the natural gas appliance population.
The Standard provides certainty for appliance manufacturers who supply appliances for use
in the Australian market.
Natural gas conforming to this Standard is suitable for transportation through pipelines,
however operational problems have been reported in transmission systems with sulfur
concentrations in natural gas below the 50 mg/m3 specified in this Standard. Research on
this issue is continuing. The outcome of the research will be taken into account in
subsequent review of the Standard.
Certain limits defined in the specification may be temporarily departed from under some
circumstances. The issue of such departures is not within the scope of this Standard and is
subject to and provided for under relevant gas sales contracts, legislation and/or
government guidelines.
The Standard is not intended to apply to gas supplies where no ‘general purpose’ users are
connected to the supply system, e.g., a dedicated supply to an industrial user.
Gas consumers who have specific needs that are not provided for by the specification would
need to nominate in appropriate commercial contracts with gas suppliers or retailers the gas
composition suitable for their particular use.
The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard and applies to appendices that are for
information and guidance only.

Australian Standard
Specification for general purpose natural gas
SECT ION 1 SCOPE AND DEF I N I T I ONS
1.1 SCOPE
1.1.1 General
This specification sets out requirements that ensure that general purpose natural gas that is
transported and supplied is safe for use in natural gas appliances and equipment and for use
as fuel in natural gas vehicles.
The specification applies to natural gas—
(a) from petroleum, landfill, biogas, coal seam and other sources where these sources
provide gas for direct or blended supply on a commercial basis through supply
systems serving general purpose customers;

(b) transported and supplied to users for use in natural gas appliances and equipment
complying with the relevant Standards. This includes natural gas powered vehicles,
natural gas compressors and refuelling facilities.
This specification is not intended to apply to natural gas for supply as a process feedstock,
but may provide a basis for such a specification.
Gas complying with this specification is safe for general purpose use but is not necessarily
fit for purpose in all applications.
General purpose natural gas is subject to contractual requirements between buyer and seller
and in some cases to National or State requirements as to quality, including allowable
excursions from the specification.
1.1.2 Inclusions and exclusions
The specification covers gas for general purpose use but is not intended to apply to gas
supplies where no ‘general purpose’ users are connected to the supply system, e.g., a
dedicated supply to an industrial user.
General purpose natural gas can be formed by blending gas from different supplies.
The hydrocarbon dewpoint limit in the specification may be more restrictive than need be
for some general purpose natural gas supply systems that are confined to only one State.
For these systems, the relevant State regulatory body may provide for a higher limit if local
conditions are favourable and it is possible to avoid excessive condensation with the higher
limit. Compliance with such higher limit will constitute compliance with the Standard
within that State only. In the absence of such provision the limit in the specification shall
apply.
Certain limits defined in the specification may be temporarily departed from under some
circumstances. The issue of such departures is not within the scope of this Standard and is
subject to and provided for under relevant gas sales contracts, legislation and/or
government guidelines.
NOTE: This specification is supported by informative Appendices that provide further
information and guidance on the derivation of the requirements, additional issues to be considered
in contracts and testing methods to verify compliance. See Appendices A, B and C.

5 AS 4564—2005
1.2 DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this Standard the following definitions apply:
1.2.1 General purpose natural gas
That natural gas that is suitable for transportation in transmission and distribution systems,
and which is safe for use in the general population of natural gas appliances and equipment
in Australia.
1.2.2 Higher heating value
The amount of energy in MJ/m 3 released when one cubic metre of dry gas, at standard
conditions, is completely burnt in air with the products of combustion brought to standard
conditions, with the water produced by combustion condensed to the liquid state.
NOTE: Higher heating value is also known as gross heating value or superior heating value.
1.2.3 Inert gas
Means any material that exists predominantly in a gaseous state at standard conditions and
which does not contribute to energy release when the gas burns. Inert gas includes but is not
limited to carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen and noble gases.
1.2.4 Limit
The value beyond which the specified characteristic or concentration of the component shall
not be permitted to vary.
1.2.5 Maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP)
The maximum pressure at which a pipeline may be operated.
1.2.6 Natural gas
A gaseous fuel consisting of a mixture of hydrocarbons of the alkane series, primarily
methane but which may also include ethane, propane and higher hydrocarbons in much
smaller amounts. It may also include some inert gases, plus minor amounts of other
constituents including odorizing agents. Natural gas remains in the gaseous state under the
temperature and pressure conditions normally found in service.
1.2.7 Relative density
Often called specific gravity, it is the mass of dry natural gas divided by the mass of an
equal volume of dry air, both at the same specified pressure and temperature (see
ISO 6976).
1.2.8 Standard conditions
A temperature of 15°C and an absolute pressure of 101.325 kPa.
1.2.9 Total sulfur
Sulfur from all sources including odorization of the gas.
1.2.10 Wobbe Index
The number expressed in MJ/m3 produced when the higher heating value of the gas is
divided by the square root of the relative density of that same gas.

2.1 SAFETY FOR USE

The properties of general purpose natural gas shall, subject to authorized excursions, be
maintained at all times within the limits set out in Table 3.1.
2.2 CONTAMINANTS
The gas shall not contain—
(a) materials, dust, and other solid or liquid matter, waxes, gums, gum forming
constituents, and unsaturated or aromatic hydrocarbons to an extent which might
cause damage to, or interfere with the proper operation of, pipes, meters, regulators,
control systems, equipment or appliances;
(b) unsaturated or aromatic hydrocarbons to an extent which causes unacceptable sooting;
(c) other substances to the extent that they cause damage to, or problems in operation of,
pipelines or appliances or that cause the products of combustion to be toxic, or
hazardous to health, other than substances that are usually found in natural gas
combustion products.

S E C T I O N 3 CO M P L I A NCE
3.1 DEMONSTRATION OF COMPLIANCE

Compliance with this Standard shall be demonstrated by showing, at the accepted levels of
precision of the test/calculation methods used, that the value of a characteristic or
concentration of a component does not lie beyond the limit listed in Table 3.1. Suggested
test/calculation methods are given in Appendix C. Most of the methods of test given in
Table C1 contain a statement of precision, i.e., the repeatability and reproducibility, to be
expected from them. In the case of dispute, the procedure described in ISO 4259, which
uses precision data in the interpretation of test results, should be used.
The limit values in the Table 3.1 do not include the allowance for excursions from the
limits, which are provided for under existing gas sales agreements or under government
regulations or guidelines.
TABLE 3.1
SPECIFICATION LIMITS
Characteristics and components Limit

Wobbe Index Minimum 46.0 MJ/m 3
Maximum 52.0 MJ/m 3
Oxygen Maximum 0.2 mol %
Hydrogen sulfide Maximum 5.7 mg/m 3
Total sulfur Maximum 50 mg/m 3
Water content Maximum Dewpoint 0°C at the highest MAOP in
the relevant transmission system (in any
case, no more than 112.0 mg/m 3 )
Hydrocarbon dewpoint Maximum 2.0°C at 3500 kPa gauge
Total inert gases Maximum 7.0 mol%
NOTES:
1 m 3 means 1 cubic metre of dry gas at the standard conditions (see Clause 1.2.8).
2 The sulfur level upstream of the point(s) of addition of odorant needs to be such as to allow for
any increase due to the odorant.
3 The hydrocarbon dewpoint limit is intended to ensure that condensation, and in particular
retrograde condensation, does not occur to an excessive extent. For some general purpose natural
gas supply systems that are confined to only one State, the relevant government body in that
State may provide for localized departure from the specified limit (see Clause 1.1.2). This would
only apply where local conditions are favourable and it is possible to avoid excessive
condensation with a higher hydrocarbon dewpoint limit.
4 Higher heating value: It is expected that for all practical gases available, or likely to be available
commercially, higher heating values would be in the range of 37 to 42 MJ/m 3 .
5 Relative density: It is expected that for all practical gases available, or likely to be available
commercially, relative density values would be in the range of 0.55 to 0.70.
6 For applications such as natural gas vehicles requiring compression to higher pressure than the
maximum transmission pressure it may be necessary to use a gas dryer to remove moisture from
the gas to prevent liquid water or hydrate formation.
7 See Appendix A for explanatory information.

AS 4564—2005 8
3.2 TESTING
Determination of the value of the properties of the gas shall be at a frequency that
reasonably confirms compliance at all times.
To meet this requirement, the measurement methods and equipment shall have acceptable
and sufficiently low uncertainty, traceable to certified Standards. However, this Standard
does not prescribe particular methods for any specific test.

APPENDIX A
DERIVATION OF SPECIFICATION
(Informative)
A1 BACKGROUND
The specification encompasses the range of Australian natural gases in use at the time of
publication.
In order to retain the greatest flexibility of supply no attempt has been made to detail the
composition of the gas beyond those compounds normally regarded as gas contaminants and
which have a detrimental effect on the properties of the gas. Specification limits are
generally consistent with overseas practice. Australian gas appliance manufacturers and
most overseas manufacturers including those in Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the UK and
the USA, design appliances to operate safely with gases within the range of this
specification. In this respect the specification is intended to cover only those gases that are
primarily methane. This specification does not cover other gases such as LPG/air mixtures
and synthetic natural gas.
A2 LIMITS
In any natural gas specification a balance must be achieved between optimum performance,
which requires the narrowest possible combustion limits, and cost of supply that, if
possible, requires no limits at all so that any available gas can be used. In an endeavour to
resolve this issue the limits are set as wide as possible while still maintaining safe
combustion performance in gas burning appliances certified for use in Australia. If the
specification of gas deviates outside the limits both safety and performance may be
compromised. This is dependent on the duration, and extent of the excursion.
Although rate of change of variables within the limits is not addressed in this specification,
it is a matter that may be addressed in gas supply contracts. It is relevant to the performance
of combustion control systems particularly in lean burn and low NOx applications. In
addition, rapid changes in Wobbe Index, for example, may lead to customer complaints, as
there may be a noticeable change in performance with some appliances.
A3 CHARACTERISTICS AND COMPONENTS

A3.1 Wobbe Index
Wobbe Index is a measure of the energy input rate to a burner at constant supply pressure
and also relates to the combustion characteristics of the burner. A change in the
Wobbe Index of the gas will result in a proportional change in the energy output of all gas
appliances and equipment supplied, and in the energy carrying capacity of gas pipelines and
distribution networks.
The permissible range of Wobbe Index is the range over which the present Australian
population of gas appliances and equipment can be expected to operate safely.
Too low a Wobbe Index may cause flame abnormality. It can also cause increased carbon
monoxide formation in surface combustion burners.
Too high a Wobbe Index may give rise to high levels of carbon monoxide in the combustion
products of conventional appliances. It can also give rise to overheating.
A3.2 Oxygen
A maximum oxygen concentration of 0.2 mol% is required by this specification.

AS 4564—2005 10
Corrosion products from oxidation in steel pipelines have the effect of stripping the injected
odorant from gas.
A3.3 Hydrogen sulfide
The limitation on hydrogen sulfide in the gas is necessary because of its corrosive effects.
In the presence of water, hydrogen sulfide can cause hydrogen induced cracking and sulfide
stress cracking in high tensile steels at high pressure. This is of particular importance for
transportation of gas in steel pipes and for the use of natural gas in vehicles where natural
gas is typically stored at pressures up to 25 MPa.
Further information on the effects of hydrogen sulfide is contained in Appendix H of
AS 2885.1:1997.
A3.4 Total sulfur
A maximum permitted sulfur concentration of 50 mg/m3 includes sulfur from all sources
including odorization of the gas. Odorants commonly used in Australia contribute to the
sulfur level in the gas. In setting the sulfur limit, the use of flueless heating in Australia has
been taken into account.
Sulfur deposition is an operating issue in some transmission systems. This has occurred in
some systems with sulfur concentrations below 50 mg/m 3 and further research is required.
A3.5 Water
This specification covers water content by nominating the dewpoint at maximum
transmission pressures. Additionally, an absolute limit (mg/m 3) is stated. Figure A1 defines
the water content in mg/m3 producing a dewpoint of 0°C for a range of transmission
pressures.
Liquid phase water can cause corrosion and the formation of gas hydrates in transmission
systems. In combination with hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, water can also lead to
stress corrosion cracking and hydrogen embrittlement.
The stated limits are designed to ensure that hydrate formation and excessive corrosion do
not occur in transmission systems.
For applications such as natural gas vehicles requiring compression to higher pressure than
the maximum transmission pressure it may be necessary to use a gas dryer to remove
moisture from the gas to prevent liquid water or hydrate formation.

A3.6 Hydrocarbon dewpoint

The hydrocarbon dewpoint limit controls the level of heavy hydrocarbons (propane and
heavier) in the gas. At high pressures, condensation of heavy hydrocarbons may occur at
low temperatures.
Additionally, retrograde condensation can occur in transmission systems at pressures lower
than the MAOP. It is this phenomenon that effectively determines the maximum allowable
limits of heavy hydrocarbons in natural gas. The pressure and temperature specified are
designed to limit retrograde condensation for typical Australian natural gases (refer to
ISO 13686).
A3.7 Total inert gases
The specification for total inert gases is intended, in conjunction with the Wobbe Index
limits, to limit the levels of higher hydrocarbons. High levels of CO 2 in particular could
have significant implications for some gas consumers that have specific needs, however this
is a commercial issue and, where necessary, would be specified in contracts.
A3.8 Other combustion parameters
Other combustion parameters e.g., sooting index, flame speed, lift index were considered
but not deemed necessary for inclusion in the specification.

AS 4564—2005 12
APPENDIX B
MATTERS THAT MAY BE CONSIDERED IN CONTRACTS
(Informative)
The following gas quality matters that are outside the scope of this gas specification may be
considered, if relevant, in gas transportation and supply contracts.
(a) The rate of change of critical parameters.
(b) Frequency of agreed tests for verification of compliance.
(c) Exchange of results of all monitoring/testing undertaken.
