Scope
GB/T 8979-2025 is the English-translated version of 纯氮、高纯氮和超纯氮.
GB/T 8979-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering nitrogen at three purity levels, gaseous or liquid, taken from air — the purity and the limits on the impurities that survive an air separation column, the trace oxygen by electrochemical cell and the trace moisture by dew point or cavity ring-down, the helium ionisation chromatography for the rest, the steel, aluminium and insulated cylinders and their filling, and the marking, transport, storage and safety information. The two gas chromatography standards issued alongside it, GB/T 28727-2025 and GB/T 8984-2025, call for nitrogen to this specification. It replaces GB/T 8979-2008, under the China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation. In force from 1 March 2026. Issued on 29 August 2025, it has been in force since 1 March 2026, replacing GB/T 8979-2008.

3 Terms and Definitions
This document does not contain any terms or definitions that require further clarification.
4 Technical Requirements
The technical requirements for pure nitrogen, high purity nitrogen, and ultra pure nitrogen shall conform to the provisions of Table 1.
5 Sampling
Sampling shall conform to the provisions of GB/T 43306.
6 Test Methods
6.1 Purity of Pure Nitrogen, High purity Nitrogen, and Ultra Pure Nitrogen
6.1.1 Calculation of Total Impurity Content
6.1.1.1 The total impurity content in gaseous pure nitrogen, high purity nitrogen, and
ultra pure nitrogen is calculated according to formula (1). Where.
x1 -- Hydrogen content (mole fraction);
x2 -- Oxygen content (mole fraction);
x3 -- Carbon monoxide content (mole fraction);
x4 -- Carbon dioxide content (mole fraction);
x5 -- Methane content (mole fraction);
28726, GB/T 37182, or other equivalent methods. In case of disagreement over the determination results, the method specified in GB/T 6285 shall be the arbitration method.
6.2.1.3 The contents of hydrogen, argon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and
methane may also be determined according to other equivalent methods specified in 6.2.2 In case of disagreement over the determination results, the method specified in GB/T 28726 shall be the arbitration method.
6.2.2 Other Equivalent Determination Methods
6.2.2.1 The content of hydrogen, argon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane
can be determined according to the method specified in GB/T 37182.
6.2.2.2 The content of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and methane can be determined
according to the method specified in GB/T 28124.
6.2.2.3 The content of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and methane can be
determined according to the method specified in GB/T 8984.
6.3 Determination of Moisture Content
6.3.1 Determination of Moisture Content in Pure Nitrogen
Perform the determination according to GB/T 5832.2.It can also be determined according to GB/T 5832.1, GB/T 5832.4, or other equivalent methods. In case of disagreement over the determination results, the method specified in GB/T 5832.2 shall be the arbitration method.
6.3.2 Determination of Moisture Content in High purity Nitrogen and Ultra Pure
Nitrogen Perform the determination according to GB/T 5832.3.The results may be determined according to GB/T 5832.1, GB/T 5832.2, GB/T 5832.4, or other equivalent methods.
In case of disagreement regarding the test results, the method specified in GB/T 5832.3 shall be the arbitration method.
6.4 Exhaust Gas Treatment
During the test, the accumulation of pure nitrogen, high purity nitrogen, and ultra pure nitrogen in the room shall be prevented.
