The invention discloses an 
infrared spectroscopy method for measuring a content of 
polyvinyl chloride in a 
polyvinyl chloride pipe. The method comprises the following steps: (1) establishing a 
standard curve: mixing PVC and an 
internal standard substance according to different 
mass ratios, selecting at least five proportions for combination, then dissolving in a mixed 
solvent, respectively 
coating a 
potassium bromide sheet special for an 
infrared spectrometer with the solution, and measuring 
absorbance (A); calculating the 
absorbance of the 
internal standard substance and PVC in a specified wave number range by using integral 
software, calculating a ratio (A 
internal standard / APVC), and establishing a working curve by using the A internal standard / APVC and the 
mass ratio m internal standard / mPVC; and (2) detecting the actual sample: dissolving the actual sample and the internal standard substance in a mixed 
solvent, and determining the A internal standard substance / APVC by using a method same as that when the working curve is established; and substituting into the working curve to obtain m internal standard / m PVC, and thus obtaining the PVC content in the sample. By adding the internal standard substance, the 
mass fraction of PVC in the sample is quantitatively determined, the analysis range is wide, dependence on other components in the formula is avoided, the anti-interference capability is high, and the detection is rapid and efficient.
