Provided is a water quality analysis device capable of keeping the device in a clean state without leaving an operation at the time of device power supply activation to an operator and without wasting time and wash water. The water quality analysis device is configured such that: a memorycapable of storing a stored content in a cut-off state of the device power supply is provided; the states of the vessels, such as an IC reactorand a TC reactor, in which sample water is injected at the time of an analysis operation are sequentially stored in the memory; contents of the memoryare read at the time of the device power supply activation; and a cleaning operation is automatically executed according to prescribed procedures with the states read for each reactorandas a starting point. Thus, even after the power supply interruption due to, e.g., power outage, the device is kept in a clean state with minimum necessary operations.

Water quality analysis device

A standard gas introduction passage and an air inlet port are provided on positions downstream and upstream a dehumidifier respectively. A zero gas and a span gas are measured in dry states, a value of the atmosphere introduced from the air inlet port which is measured in the same moisture concentration as the sample gas is subtracted as a moisture interference value from the measured value of the sample gas for correcting moisture interference, and calibration curve data are applied to a result of measurement after the correction. Calibration can be finished in a short period, whereby the capacities of standard gas cylinders can be reduced and the overall device can be miniaturized.
