Which compounds cannot be estimated for Nitrogen using Dumas Method?

I know about such compounds in Kjeldahl method but don't have any idea about Dumas mehod. I googled but it returned nothing.

Can someone help?

The reason I posted the link is so you may ask them for the info you're after.

Just fake some request and pretend you're a secretary or something given a task to gather info on a Dumas apparatus and was wondering the limitations/possibilities of their product.
