Applied H2S and Total Sulfur
Sciences Inc. Using Lead Acetate
Galvanic is a technology
company who manufactures The lead acetate tape method for the detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in gaseous
lead acetate tape and sulfur streams is based on the established principle that H2S reacts specifically with lead acetate
chemiluminescence analyzers. to form a lead sulfide brown stain. The concentration of H2S is directly proportional to the
In addition we produce BTU, rate of change of staining on the lead acetate tape. This principle is the basis for a number

of ASTM methods. It is by far the most reliable and simple way to measure H2S in process.
and flow automation products.
H2S + Pb ➔ PbS + H2O
The analyzer moves the treated paper tape one section at a time. Depending on the
sample concentration, the tape will begin to darken at a rate proportional to the
concentration of H2S in the sample stream. The analyzer exposes a fresh section of tape to
the sample inside the sample chamber every 3-4 minutes.
Calibration
The system is self zeroing at every tape advance, therefore calibration is only required every 3-4 months.
The units can be calibrated manually or automatically with an optional “autocal” solenoid.
H2S or COS in a N2 background provides the most stable and convenient calibration source. It is normally recommended to
calibrate the analyzer at 60-80% of scale or close to the most critical value such as the alarm limit. Disposable and refillable
bottles are available from most laboratory gas suppliers.

801W
H2S
Analyzer
The 801W is a wall mounted unit in a Nema 4X enclosure suitable for DIV 2 areas.
It has a front mounted tape drive assembly.
It is a low cost, microprocessor based H2S analyzer using the principle of lead acetate
tape. This time proven method is superior to other technologies for ppm level H2S
measurement in natural gas or LPG. The optics, mechanical system, digital electronics and
software all combine to fully utilize the inherent strengths of the lead acetate methodology.
