2. Description of the Related Art Sulfuric acid is widely used industrially, and it is often required to ascertain the concentration of sulfuric acid. Therefore, measuring sulfuric acid concentration is of great industrial significance. For example, in a lead-acid battery, the concentration of sulfuric acid changes with charge and discharge as shown in Chemical Formula 2 below. Therefore, by measuring the concentration of sulfuric acid, the amount of charge / discharge of the lead-acid battery can be measured. If the measurement can be easily performed, the charge / discharge electricity amount of the lead storage battery can be controlled. In charge and discharge of a lead storage battery, the sulfuric acid concentration usually varies in the range of about 8 to 45%, so that measurement in this concentration range is particularly important.

Conventionally, methods for measuring the concentration of sulfuric acid include:
A specific gravity measuring method and a refractive index measuring method are known. However, in the method, since the measurement is performed using the float, it is difficult to perform automatic reading, and it is difficult to extract the electric signal to the control system. In addition, the method requires a relatively long optical path in the sulfuric acid solution to be measured, and it is necessary to convert light into electricity, which makes the measuring apparatus large and expensive.
