N2 - The measurement of gas content of coals has been dominated by the standard methods of core desorption described by ASTM D7569 and AS3980 (1999). In this paper the limitations of these procedures are discussed with particular reference to the partial gas pressure the gas content is being referred to. Because the gas content is always quoted as an absolute value measured to an undefined gas partial pressure as opposed to a value at atmospheric pressure it brings into question the nature of the isotherm model being used at pressures below atmospheric. The generally accepted Langmuir model is found to be lacking at these lower pressures and alternative options are considered. The current practise of measuring isotherms is also questioned, particularly with respect to mixed gas types where the extended Langmuir or IAS models are found wanting. To overcome these deficiencies the process of measuring gas contents to known partial pressures of seam gas is used. So too is the process of measuring native isotherms on
