Abstract
A correction curve (FIG. 19) is prepared by plotting .sup.12 CO.sub.2 concentrations and .sup.13 CO.sub.2 /.sup.12 CO.sub.2 concentration ratios which are determined on the basis of a calibration curve and .sup.13 CO.sub.2 and .sup.12 CO.sub.2 absorbances of gaseous samples having the same .sup.13 CO.sub.2 /.sup.12 CO.sub.2 concentration ratio but known different .sup.12 CO.sub.2 concentrations. A gaseous test sample containing .sup.13 CO.sub.2 and .sup.12 CO.sub.2 as component gases is introduced into a cell, and spectrometrically measured. A .sup.12 CO.sub.2 concentration of the gaseous test sample is determined by way of the spectrometric measurement. A concentration ratio correction value is obtained on the basis of the correction curve and the .sup.12 CO.sub.2 concentration of the gaseous test sample thus determined. A measured .sup.13 CO.sub.2 /.sup.12 CO.sub.2 concentration ratio is divided by the concentration ratio correction value thus obtained for correction of the .sup.13 CO.sub.2 /.sup.12 CO.sub.2 concentration ratio. Thus, the measurement accuracy of the concentration ratios of the component gases can be improved.
