Code and Specification Data

AWS A5.1, ASME SFA 5.1 (A-1, F-3)

ABS - AWS A5.1

Military - MIL-6011

CWB-CSA W48.1, E41011

It is an all-position cellulosic electrode designed for AC. It produces an easily controlled forceful arc with deep penetration and a high quality weld metal which will pass specification requirements for radiography.

Typical applications include welding of bridges, buildings, piping, shipbuilding, pressure vessels, and tanks.
