Method and device for measuring concentration of substance in fluid
First Claim
1. A method for measuring material concentration in a fluid, the method comprising:
- driving a sample to be tested to pass through a chemical sensor at least twice,logging a response value of the chemical sensor in each pass-through;
establishing a simultaneous system of equations from a measurement equation relationship between the response value obtained by the chemical sensor in each pass-through and the material concentration and a mass equation relationship between a change of material concentration resulting from physical and chemical reactions in each pass-through and a change of mass, a change in electric quantity, and a change in heat in the physical and chemical reactions, andsolving the simultaneous system of equations to ascertain the material concentration of the sample and one or more calibration parameters of the chemical sensor.

Abstract
A method and device for measuring a substance'"'"'s concentration in a fluid. The method includes first passing a sample to be measured through a chemical sensor at least twice and recording the response value each time; forming a simultaneous equation set using the equation relation between the response value obtained during each measurement and the concentration of the substance, and the mass equation relation satisfied by the concentration change caused by a physical, chemical reaction during each measurement and by the change of the mass, electric quantity, and heat; solving for the concentration of the substance measured and the sensor calibration parameter. The method, used as an absolute measurement method, can be applied to calibrate the sample concentration of a fluid, overcomes the effects on the measurements caused by temperature, humidity, pressure, and some interfering gas, requires no sensor calibration, and substantially enhances the measurements'"'"' stability and reliability.
