NOTES TO TABLE I: (Numbers in parentheses in Table I refer to the following notes:)

1. For impact tested carbon steel with an MDMT colder than -20o F (-6.7o C) use E7018-1.
2. Where no ASME material specification exists for wire or rods, wire or rods of the same nominal
chemical composition as the base material with substantially neutral flux or inert gas may be used if
they have been qualified in accordance with the applicable code and specification requirements.
3. Submerged arc (SAW) wire and flux shall conform to ASME SFA-5.17 or SFA-5.23;
4. For design temperatures above 1000oF (538oC), 0.040 - 0.080% carbon is required.
