The first communication part 5B obliquely extends from the gas inlet 5B1 towards the window member 4 of the light incident part 3.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, the measurement cell main body 15 includes right and left block bodies 151, and 15R and a pipe body 15M connecting the right and left block bodies 15L and 15R. The pipe body 15M has a continuous cylindrical shape though the middle part thereof is not shown in FIG. 1. The measurement cell main body may be various shapes and can be, for example as shown in FIG. 7, a rectangular parallelepiped shape instead of the cylindrical pipe shape.

The gas inlet 5B1 and the gas outlet 5C1 respectively open to recessed parts 15b and 15c formed on a surface (a bottom face in the shown embodiment) of the measurement cell main body 15. Joints J1 and J2 are respectively connected to the recessed parts 15b and 15c through gaskets (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

The second communication part 5C obliquely extends from the gas outlet 5C1 towards the window member 6 of the light receiving part 8.

A cross section area of a flow path of the first communication part 5B is formed to be smaller than a cross section area of the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path and more preferably, the cross section area of the flow path of the first communication part 5B is formed to be no more than a half of the cross section area of the gas flow path part for the optical path.

The light incident part 3 includes a holding body 25 holding an optical fiber 2 and clamping the window member 4 facing to the gas flow path 5 between the measurement cell main body 15 and the holding body. A fitting recessed part 15d is formed on the measurement cell main body 15 and a fitting projected part 25a which fits the fitting recessed part 15d is formed on the holding body 25. The window member 4 is clamped between a recess bottom face of the fitting recessed part 15d and a protruded end face of the fitting projected part 25a of the holding body 25.

Sapphire glass plates may be preferably used for the window members 4 and 6. A gasket 26 intervenes between the holding body 25 and the measurement cell main body 15. The first communication part 5B opens on the window member 4 to communicate with the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path.

The fitting recessed part 15d is formed as a stepped recess with a stepped part 15e and the fitting projected part 25a is formed as a stepped projection with a stepped part 25b that fits the stepped recessed part 15d. An abutting face by the stepped part 15e of the fitting recessed part 15d and the stepped part 25b of the fitting projected part 25a abutting each other forms a sealing face.

The light receiving part 8 includes the window member 6 facing the gas flow path 5, a photo diode 7, and a holding body 30 holding the photo diode 7 and clamping the window member 6 between the measurement cell main body 15 and the holding body, and a fitting recessed part 15f is formed on the measurement cell main body 15 and a fitting projected part 30a which fits the fitting recessed part 15f is formed on the holding body 30.

The fitting recessed part 15f is formed as a stepped recess with a stepped part 15g and the fitting projected part 30a is formed as a stepped projection with a stepped part 30b that fits the stepped recessed part 15f with the stepped part 15g. An abutting face by the stepped part 15g of the fitting recessed part 15f and the stepped part 30b of the fitting projected part 30a abutting each other forms a sealing face.

FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate an inline concentration measurement device according to a second ea embodiment of the present invention. In the inline concentration measurement device according to the second embodiment, pipe bodies 15M respectively formed with gas flow path parts 5a for an optical path are detachably connected in a middle section with male and female couplings 15M1 and 15M2. A reference sign 15M3 designates a gasket for sealing. Joints J1 and J2 are respectively connected to a gas inlet 5B1 and a gas outlet 5C1 for connection with pipelines (not shown) through sealing gaskets S1 and S2. A gas inflow path P1 is formed in the joint J1. The gas inflow path P1 communicates with a first communication path 5B. A cross section area of the gas inflow path P1 is larger than a cross section area of the first communication path 5B. Thus flow speed of gas that has flown through the gas inflow path P1 increases while the gas passes through the first communication path 5B. A gas outflow path P2 is formed in the joint J2.

FIG. 4 illustrates an inline concentration measurement device according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In the cases of the first and second embodiments, the window members 4 and 6 are orthogonal to the optical path, however window members 4 and 6 are configured to obliquely cross an optical path L in the inline concentration measurement device of the third embodiment. Here, faces where holding bodies 15L and 15R are attached are obliquely formed on a measurement cell main body 15 to achieve the above configuration. An inclination angle θ of the window members 4 and 6 relative to a plane orthogonal to the optical path L may be, for example, 10° to 45°. Measurement error affected by reflection of light on the window members 4 and 6 may be reduced by inclining the window members 4 and 6 relative to the optical path L.

FIG. 5 illustrates an inline concentration measurement device according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. In the inline concentration measurement device according to the fourth embodiment, a light incident part 3 includes a collimator lens 40 for collimating incident light entering to a gas flow path part 5a for an optical path. The collimator lens 40 can be provided behind a window member 4, in other words, in an opposite side of the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path with the window member 4 in between. Measurement accuracy may be improved by collimating the incident light entering to the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path with the collimator 40 to increase the amount of light in a cell. In the embodiment shown, the collimator lens 40 is stored and fixed in a cylindrical body 41. The cylindrical body 41 is inserted to a hole 25h of a holding body 25 and a flange 42 welded to the cylindrical body 41 is fixed to the holding body 25 with a bolt 43. A connector 2a holding an optical fiber 2 is connected to a threaded part 41a formed on a rear outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical body 41.

FIGS. 6 and 7 respectively illustrate inline concentration measurement devices according to fifth and sixth embodiments of the present invention. The both inline concentration measurement devices of the fifth and sixth embodiments are vertical type which has a gas flow path part 5a for an optical path arranged in a height direction. In the sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 7, the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path is longer than the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path in the fifth embodiment shown in FIG. 6. In the both fifth and sixth embodiments, a measurement cell main body 15 is formed as a block body. The gas flow path part 5a for the optical path vertically penetrates a center part of the measurement cell main body 15. A gas inlet 5B1 is formed on one side and a gas outlet SCI is formed on another side of the measurement cell main body 15. A first communication part 5B makes the gas inlet 5B1 communicate with the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path. The first communication part 5B obliquely extends towards a window member 4 of a light incident part 3. A second communication part 5C makes the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path communicate with the gas outlet 5C1. The second communication part 5C obliquely extends from the gas outlet 5C1 towards a window member 6 of a light receiving part 8. Cross section areas of flow paths in the first communication part 5B and the second communication part 5C are formed to be smaller than a cross section area of the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path. Middle blocks M1 and M2 respectively connect to right and left sides of the measurement cell main body 15 with joints J1 and J2 respectively attached to the middle blocks M1 and M2. A gas inflow path P1 penetrating through the middle block M1 as well as the joint J1 communicates with the first communication part 5B. A gas outflow path P2 penetrating through the middle block M2 as well as the joint J2 communicates with the second communication part 5C. A cross section area of the gas inflow path P1 is formed to be larger than the cross section area of the first communication path 5B. Thus flow speed of the gas that has flown through the gas inflow path P1 increases while the gas passes through the first communication path 5B. A ground contact area of such the vertical type inline concentration measurement device may be smaller than a ground contact area of the horizontal type device such as the ones according to the first to fourth embodiments.

In the inline concentration measurement device having the above configuration, the first communication part 5B making the gas inlet 5B1 formed in the measurement cell main body 15 communicate with the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path is configured to obliquely extend from the gas inlet 5B1 towards the window member 4 of the light incident part 3 to eliminate retention of the gas near the window member 4 by making a flow of the gas flowing from the first communication part 5B towards a surface of the window member 4 for reducing undesired accumulation of an organic metal material or the like on the surface of the window member 4.

In addition, the accumulation of the organic metal material or the like on the window member 4 of the light incident part 3 may be reduced by configuring the cross section area of the flow path of the first communication part 5B to be smaller than the cross section area of the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path to make speed of the flow in the gas flow path part 5a for the optical path faster than the flow in the first communication part 5B.

Also, the accumulation of the organic metal material or the like on the window member 4 of the light incident part 3 may be reduced by making the cross section area of the flow path of the first communication part 5B smaller than the cross section area of the gas inflow path P1 sending the gas to the first communication part 5B to increase the speed of the flow in the first communication part 5B.

The present invention is not limited to the above described embodiments but variations may be made within the scope of the invention. For example, in the previously described embodiments, the fitting recess is made on the measurement cell main body and the fitting projection is made on the holding body. On the contrary, however, the fitting projection may be made on the measurement cell main body and the fitting recess may be made on the holding body.
