In order to surely remove deposits attached on the inner wall of an exhaust gas pipe, an exhaust gas measurement system that measures components contained in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine is adapted to include an exhaust gas piping member into which the exhaust gas is introduced; a purge gas supply mechanism adapted to supply purge gas to the exhaust gas piping member; a heating mechanism adapted to heat the exhaust gas piping member; and a control mechanism adapted to, after the heating mechanism has heated the exhaust gas piping member or the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas piping member to a predetermined temperature, control the purge gas supply mechanism to start supplying the purge gas.
