Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable alteration of a reference point and also to prevent effectively the sticking of a stain constituent of fine dust which affects a measured value, by providing a sensor of a semiconductor element structure in a gas flow passage formed between a gas introducing port and a gas discharge port and by changing selectively the direction of flowing of a gas in the gas flow passage. CONSTITUTION:A sample gas introduced from a gas introducing port 1a comes into contact with the surface of a sensor 2a and the concentration is measured continuously from a change in the electric resistance value of the sensor, while a measured value is made a numerical value and displayed in a display part. The sample gas passing the sensor 2a is made to pass through a gas decomposition processing part 4 using a catalyst or the like and is discharged from a gas discharge port 1b as a cleaned processed gas. As a preliminary operation or an intermediate operation for this measurement of the concentration of the gas, the sample gas is introduced from the gas discharge port 1b by operating an air-supplying means 3a reversely and made to pass through the gas decomposition processing part 4 so as to produce a processed gas from which a gas constituent to be measured is removed, and correction of a reference point is conducted on the basis of a measured value of the concentration of the processed gas.
