= Weight (kg / 100 electrodes)

= Efficiency (g weld metal x 100 / g core wire)
= Effective value (kg weld metal / kg electrodes)
= Changes (number of electrodes / kg weld metal)
= Deposit rate at 90% of max current (kg weld metal / hour arc time)
= Fusion time at 90% of max current (s / electrode)
= Arc voltage (V)
