The chemical composition of 86 planetary nebulae from the Strasbourg-ESO survey are analysed (Acker et al., 1989; Köppen et al., 1991). Strong correlations between O, S, Ar, as well as between N and N/O are found. Galactic radial gradients for the abundances of He, S, and Ar in the old disk nebulae are found in accord with the results of Faúndez-Albans and Maciel (1986). The S gradient is steeper than that of O, and the S/O ratio decreases with increasing distance from the galactic centre, which is quite different from the result deduced from HII regions.
