Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the detection of water with high sensitivity, by a method wherein a fluid to be measured is brought into contact with carbide powder to be transformed into acetylene and this acetylene is detected by a flame ionization detector. CONSTITUTION:When a sample is sucked in from a carrier gas source 4 through a sample injection port 3, the water in the sample is discharged into a reaction tube 6 with a carrier gas at a retention time set by a column 2 for analysis. The water discharged with the carrier gas is brought into contact with carbide powder 9 without causing dew condensation in the reaction tube 6 and is transformed into acetylene by a reaction of CaC2+2H2O C2H2+Ca(OH)2. This acetylene flows into a flame ionization detector 10 and is detected with high sensitivity of the detector 10, because of its inflammability.
