In accordance with the present invention, a test gas sample containing carbon dioxide 13CO2 as a component gas is introduced into a cell, then the absorbance of light transmitted therethrough at a wavelength suitable for the component gas 13CO2 is determined, and the concentration of the component gas is determined on the basis of a calibration carne prepared through measurement on test gas samples each containing the component gas in a known concentration. Further, the concentration of water vapor contained in the test gas sample is measured, and the concentration of the component gas in the test gas sample is corrected in accordance with the measured water vapor concentration on the basis of a correction curve prepared through measurement on the test gas samples each containing water vapor in a known concentration. With the spectrometry, the concentration ratio of the component gas can precisely be determined and corrected by measuring the moisture content in the test gas sample.

Un échantillon de gaz d'essai ayant comme constituant du dioxyde de carbone <13>CO2 est introduit dans une cellule. On détermine ensuite l'absorption de la lumière transmise à travers la cellule en longueur d'onde appropriée audit constituant <13>CO2, et la concentration du constituant est évaluée suivant une courbe d'étalonnage qui résulte de mesures effectuées sur des échantillons de gaz d'essai renfermant chacun le constituant selon une concentration donnée. On mesure ensuite la concentration de vapeur d'eau contenue dans l'échantillon de gaz d'essai, puis la concentration du constituant dans ledit échantillon est corrigée en fonction de la concentration de vapeur d'eau mesurée, suivant une courbe de correction résultant de mesures effectuées sur des échantillons de gaz d'essai renfermant chacun la vapeur d'eau selon une concentration donnée. La spectrométrie permet de mesurer et de corriger avec précision le taux de concentration du constituant, par évaluation de la teneur en humidité de l'échantillon considéré.
