Abstract
A apparatusfor measuring combustible-gas concentration includes an electromotive force acquisition sectionconfigured to acquire information about an electromotive force of a mixed potential cellwhile a detection electrodeis exposed to a target gas, an oxygen concentration acquisition sectionconfigured to acquire information about oxygen concentration pin the target gas, and a control section. The control sectionderives combustible-gas concentration pin the target gas from the acquired information about the electromotive force EMF, the acquired information about the oxygen concentration p, and the relationship represented by formula (1):EMF=α log()−β log()+  (1)where α, β, and B each represent a constant, and a and b each represent any base (provided that a≠1, a>0, b≠1, and b>0).
