In that case, it is necessary to accurately control the concentration of the drug solution, and it is necessary to accurately measure the concentration. Heretofore, in order to measure the concentration of such a drug solution, a measuring device of a transmission spectroscopic measurement system using near infrared rays or a measuring device of an ultrasonic transmission velocity measurement system has been often used.

By the way, the measuring device using the near-infrared transmission spectroscopic measurement method uses an optical system, which is vulnerable to vibration and is not suitable for the moving type. There was a problem that the measured values were affected by the turbidity of the liquid and bubbles, and errors were likely to occur. Further, in the measuring device using the ultrasonic transmission velocity measurement method, since the ultrasonic oscillator is placed in the liquid to be measured, the chemical liquid may be contaminated by the oscillator, or conversely, the oscillator may be attacked by the chemical liquid. There was a problem.

Further, since the ultrasonic oscillator and the cable are put in the liquid to be measured, if the concentration is measured while the liquid is being processed, the space for the ultrasonic oscillator and the cable to be put is provided in addition to the product processing space. It must be in the processing tank containing the liquid to be measured. Therefore, it is practically impossible to measure the concentration during the processing operation. Therefore, there is a problem that even if the concentration changes during the processing operation, it cannot be dealt with.

Is an F / V converter for FV converting the oscillation output of the F / V converter, and 15 is an A / D converter for converting the output voltage (analog output) of the F / V converter 14 into a digital signal.
The output of the / D converter 15 is C through the input / output circuit 16.
It is transmitted to the PU 17 and is subjected to arithmetic processing for calculating the density. That is, there is a linear relationship between the concentration of the liquid to be measured 2 and its relative dielectric constant as shown in FIG. 2 (for example, FIG. 2 shows ethanol), and the relative dielectric constant changes depending on the concentration. Therefore, the capacitance of the capacitor formed of the counter electrodes 8 inevitably changes.

When the value of the liquid to be measured 2 calculated by the arithmetic processing deviates from the preset reference value, it is necessary to adjust the concentration of the liquid to be measured 2 in the processing tank 1. This is performed by controlling the valve 5 that adjusts the supply amount to the processing tank 1 from the tank containing ethanol as a chemical solution. This is because the concentration of the liquid to be measured 2 in the processing tank 1 can be made thicker or thinner by adjusting the amount of ethanol supplied while keeping the amount of water supplied constant. However, if the concentration is too high, open the valve for water supply,
If it is too thin, it may be possible to open the valve 5 for supplying the chemical liquid. Reference numeral 18 is a D / A converter for converting the signal for controlling the valve 5 into an analog signal, and this output signal is amplified by an amplifier 19 to control the valve 5 so as to make the concentration equal to a predetermined reference value.

Reference numeral 20 is an A / D converter for converting the output signal (analog signal) of the temperature sensor 11 into a digital signal. This output signal is sent to the CP via the input / output circuit 16.
It is transmitted to U17 and compared with a predetermined reference value. Then, a heater drive signal is generated based on the comparison result, which is converted into an analog signal by the D / A converter 21, amplified by the amplifier 22 and transmitted to the heater 12, and passes through the liquid passage pipe 6 to be measured. The temperature of the liquid 2 is controlled (driven) so as to be a predetermined reference value. In order to keep the temperature of the measured liquid 2 passing through the liquid passage tube 6 constant in this way, the relative permittivity of the measured liquid 2 has temperature dependence, and the measured value may have an error due to a change in temperature. This is to prevent the error from occurring.
