Low concentrations of water vapor within a background of one or more hydrocarbon gases may be detected and quantified using a differential absorption spectrometer. A dehydrated sample of the gas is used as a background sample whose absorption spectrum allows elimination of absorption features not due to water vapor in the gas. Absorption spectra may recorded using tunable diode lasers as the light source, these lasers may have a wavelength bandwidth that is narrower than the water vapor absorption feature used for the differential absorption spectral analysis.

L'invention permet de détecter et de quantifier, au moyen d'un spectromètre d'absorption différentielle, de faibles concentrations de vapeur d'eau dans une base composée d'un ou plusieurs gaz hydrocarbures. On utilise comme échantillon de base un échantillon déshydraté du gaz dont le spectre d'absorption permet d'éliminer les caractéristiques d'absorption qui ne sont pas dues à la vapeur d'eau présente dans le gaz. On peut enregistrer des spectres d'absorption en utilisant des lasers à diodes accordables comme source de lumière, lesquels lasers peuvent avoir une largeur de fenêtre spectrale plus étroite que la caractéristique d'absorption de vapeur d'eau utilisée pour l'analyse spectrale de l'absorption différentielle.
