Patent ID: 11460396

Abstract:
A concentration measurement method is performed using a concentration measurement device comprising: a measurement cell for flowing a fluid to be measured; a light source for generating light incident on the measurement cell; a photodetector for detecting light emitted from the measurement cell; an arithmetic unit for calculating the absorbance and concentration of the fluid to be measured based on an output of the photodetector; and a temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of the fluid to be measured. The concentration measurement method includes: a step of flowing a gas whose molecular structure varies with the temperature as the fluid to be measured in the measurement cell; a step of making light of a wavelength absorbable by the fluid to be measured to be incident from the light source to the measurement cell; a step of measuring the intensity of light emitted from the measurement cell by the photodetector; and a step of calculating the concentration of the fluid to be measured based on the temperature and the output of the photodetector measured by the temperature sensor.
