sulfuric Acid Measurement

Hi I'm Freddy from Indonesia, I'm running an aluminium extrusion factory here in Jakarta. What I would like to ask you is how do I measure the composition of a sulfuric acid. I hope you could give me an answer soon, thank you.

pipette [pipettes on eBay or Amazon] a 1 ml sample into a flask and dilute with 100 ml water.
Add 4-6 drops methyl orange [on eBay or Amazon] indicator solution.
Titrate with 1.0N NaOH [1N NaOH on Amazon] until yellow end point.
Calculation:
ml of 1N NaOH x 2.5 = %acid
