The standard analysis methods of oxygen and nitrogen contents were summarized, and the following conclusions were obtained: inert gas fusion infrared absorption and thermal conductivity were main standard analysis methods for oxygen and nitrogen content of inorganic materials at present; the coulometric titration and spectrophotometry had been gradually replaced or coexisted with new methods; the distillation-neutralization titration maintained its advantage in the standard analytical method of high nitrogen content; meanwhile, there were some other distinctive methods such as Dumas combustion method, elemental analyzer method and mass spectrometry. The main technical parameters of each method were listed. The inert gas fusion infrared absorption method and thermal conductivity method were analyzed in terms of analysis principle, sample preparation requirements, surface treatment method, function and proportion of flux, type of flux, calibration method and calibration material, etc. The development of standard analysis methods for oxygen and nitrogen content in low melting point metals and alloys were expected to develop more equipment and auxiliary materials and make the standard analysis methods for oxygen and nitrogen content more perfect. Total 77 standards were cited.
