A concentration detector comprises oxygen-forming means for forming oxygen by decomposing the particular component in the gas, first output means for producing an output value proportional to the oxygen concentration in the gas of before oxygen is formed by the oxygen-forming means, second output means for producing an output value proportional to the oxygen concentration in the gas after oxygen is formed by the oxygen-forming means, concentration calculation means for calculating the concentration of the particular component in the gas based upon the output value from the first output means and upon the output value from the second output means by using a coefficient for bringing the output characteristics of the first output means into agreement with the output characteristics of the second output means, and means which feeds at least two kinds of gases containing the particular component at a constant concentration and containing oxygen at different concentrations to said first output means and calculates said coefficient based on the output value from the first output means and on the output value from the second output means.
