Those Cases that have been adopted will appear in the appropriate 2010 Code Cases book: “Boilers and Pressure Vessels” and “Nuclear Components.” Supple- ‘ments will be sent automatically to the purchasers of the Code Cases books up to the publication of the 2013 Code.FOREWORD ‘The American Society of Mechanical Engineers set up a committee in 1911 for the purpose of formulating standard rules for the construction of steam boilers and other pressure vessels. This committee is now called the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee ‘The Committee's function is to establish rules of safety, relating only to pressure integrity, governing the construction! of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and inservice inspection for pressure integrity of nuclear components and transport tanks, and to interpret these rules when questions arise regarding their intent. This Code does not address other safety issues relating tothe construction of boilers, pressure vessels, transport tanks and nuclear components, and the inservice inspection fof nuclear components and wansport tanks. The user of the Code should refer (o other pertinent codes, standards, laws, regulations, or other relevant documents. With few exceptions, the rules do not, of practical necessity, reflect the likelihood and consequences of deterioration in service related to specific service fluids or external operating environments, Recognizing this, the Committee has approved ‘a wide variety of construction rules inthis Section to allow the user ar his designee to select those which will provide 1 pressure vessel having a margin for deterioration in service so as (0 give a reasonably long, safe period of use- fulness, Accordingly, it is not intended that this Section bbeused as adesign handbook; rather, engineering judgment ‘must be employed in the selection of those sets of Code rules suitable to any specific service or need. ‘This Code contains mandatory requirements, specific prohibitions, and nonmandatory guidance for construction activities. The Code does not address all aspects of these activities and those aspects that are not specifically addressed should not be considered prohibited, The Code isnot a handbook and cannot replace education, experience, and the use of engineering judgment. The phrase engineering judgment refers to technical judgments made by knowledgeable designers experienced in the application of the Code, Engineering judgments must be consistent with Code philosophy and such judgments must never be used to overrule mandatory requirements or specific prohibitions of the Code " Conaracion, a ein his Foreword, an alleinsosve term com prising materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection. testing, fexucalin, abd presse tle The Committee recognizes that tools and techniques used for design and analysis change as technology prog- resses and expects engineers to use good judgment in the application of these tools. The designer is responsible for complying with Code rules and demonstrating compliance with Code equations when such equations are mandatory ‘The Code neither requires nor prohibits the use of comput- crs for the design or analysis of components constructed to the requirements of the Code. However, designers and ‘engineers using computer programs for design or analysis are cautioned that they are responsible for all technical assumptions inherent in the programs they use and they are responsible for the application of these programs to their design, The Code docs not fully address tolerances. When dimensions, sizes, or other parameters are not specified with tolerances, the values of these parameters are consi cred nominal and allowable tolerances or local variances ‘may be considered acceptable when based on engineering judgment and standard practices as determined by the designer The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee deals with the cate and inspection of boilers and pressure vessels in service only to the extent of providing suggested rules of ‘good practice as an aid to owners and their inspectors. “The rules established by the Committee are not to be interpreted as approving, recommending, or endorsing any proprietary or specific design or as limiting in any way the ‘manufacturer's freedom to choose any method of design ‘or any form of construction that conforms to the Code rules. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee meets regu- latly to consider revisions ofthe rules, new rules as dictated by technological development, Code Cases, and requests for interpretations. Only the Boiler and Pressure Vessel ‘Committee has the authority to provide official interpreta- tuons of this Code. Requests for revisions, new rules, Code Cases, or interpretations shall be addressed tothe Secretary in writing and shall give full particulars in order to receive consideration and action (see Submittal of Technical Inquiries to the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee) Proposed revisions to the Code resulting from inquiries will bbe presented to the Standards Committees for appropriate action. The action of the Standards Committees becomes effective only after confirmation by letter ballot of the ‘Committees and approval by ASME. (19) (a)Proposed revisions to the Code approved by the Commit tee are submitted to the American National Standards Insti- tute and published at hup://estools.asme.org/esconnect/ publicindex.cfim?PublicReview = Revisions to invite com= ‘ments from all interested persons. Alter the allotted time for public review and final approval by ASME, revisions aze published in updates to the Code. Code Cases may be used in the construction of compo: rents to be stamped with the Certification Mark beginning with the date of their approval by ASME. After Code revisions are approved by ASME, they may be used beginning with the date of issuance. Revisions, except for revisions to material specifications in Section IH, Parts A and B, become mandatory six months after such date of issuance, except for boilers or pressure vessels contracted for prior to the end of the six-month period, Revisions to material specifications are originated by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) and other recognized national or international organizations, and are usually adopted by ASME, However, those revisions may of may not have any effect on the suitability of material, produced to earlier editions of specifications, for use in ASME construction. ASME material specifications approved for use in each construction Code are listed in the Guideline for Acceptable ASTM Editions and in the Guideline for Acceptable Non-ASTM Editions, in Section IL Parts A and B. These Guidelines list, for each specifica tion, the latest edition adopted by ASME, and ealier and later editions considered by ASME to be identical for ASME construction. The Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee inthe fornsu- lation of its rules and in the establishment of maximum design and operating pressures considers materials, construction, method of fabrication, inspection, and safety devices. ‘The Code Committee does not rule on whether a component shall or shall not be constructed to the provisions of the Code. The Scope of each Section has been established to identify the components and parameters considered by the Committee in formulating the Code rules. Questions or issues regarding compliance of a specific ‘component with the Code rules are to be ditected to the ASME Certificate Holder (Manufactures). Inquiries con- ‘cerning the interpretation of the Code are to be directed to the ASM ASME is to be notified should questions arise concerning improper use of the Certification Mark ‘The specifications for materials given in Section Il are {identical with or similar to those of specifications published by ASTM, AWS, and other recognized national ar international organizations. When reference is made in an ASME material specification to a non-ASME specification for which a companion ASME specification exists, the reference shall be interpreted as applying to the ASME material specification. Not all materials included in the material specifications in Section II have been adopted for Code use, Usage is limited to those materials and grades adopted by at east one ofthe other Sections of the Code for applica- sion under rules of that Section, All materials allowed by these various Sections and used for construction within the scope of their rules shall be furnished in accordance with ‘material specifications contained in Section Tor referenced in the Guidelines for Acceptable Editions in Section I Parts A and B, except where otherwise provided in Code Cases or in the applicable Section of the Code. Materials covered by these specifications are acceptable for use in stems covered by the Code Sections only to the degree indicated in the applicable Section, Materials for Code use should preferably be ordered, produced, and documented oon this basis; Guidelines for Acceptable Editions in Section H, Parts A and B list editions of ASME and year dates of specifications that meet ASME requirements and which may be used in Code construction. Material produced to an acceptable specification with requirements different from the requirements of the corresponding specifications listed in the Guidelines for Acceptable Edi- tions in Part A or Part B may also be used in accordance with the above, provided the material manufacturer or vessel manufacturer certifies with evidence acceptable to the Authorized Inspector that the corresponding requirements of specifications listed in the Guidelines for Acceptable Editions in Part A or Part B have been met. Material produced to an acceptable material specification is not limited as to country of origin, ‘When required by context in this Section, the singular shall be interpreted as the plural, and vice-versa; and the feminine, masculine, or neuter gender shall be treated as such other gender a8 appropriate oiler and Pressure Vessel Committee.STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF THE CERTIFICATION MARK AND CODE AUTHORIZATION IN ADVERTISING ASME has established procedures to authorize qualified ‘organizations to perform various activities in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. Itis the aim ofthe Society to provide recogni- tion of organizations so authorized. An organization holding authorization to perform various activities in accordance with the requirements of the Code may state this capability in its advertising literature Organizations that are authorized to use the Certification Mark for marking items ot constructions that have been constructed and inspected in compliance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code are issued Certificates of Authorization. It is the aim of the Society to maintain the standing of the Certification Mark for the benefit of the usets, the enforcement jurisdictions, and the holders of the Certification Mark who comply with all requirements ‘Based on these objectives, the following policy has been established on the usage in advertising of facsimiles of the Certification Mark, Certificates of Authorization, and reference to Code construction. The American S Mechanical Engineers does not “approve,” “certify, “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, of activity and: there shall be no statements or implications that might so indicate. An organization holding the Certification Mark and/or a Certificate of Authorization may state in advertising literature that items, constructions, or activities “are ‘built (produced or performed) or activities conducted in accordance with the requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,” or “meet the requitements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code.” An ASME cor- porate logo shall not be used by any organization other than ASME, The Certification Mark shall be used only for stamping ‘and nameplates as specifically provided in the Code, How ever, facsimiles may be used for the purpose of fostering the use of such construction. Sueh usage may be by an association or a society. ot by a holder of the Certification ‘Mark who may also use the facsimile in advertising to show that clearly specified items will carry the Certification ‘Mark, General usage is permitted only when all of a manufacturer's items ate constructed under the rules. STATEMENT OF POLICY ON THE USE OF ASME MARKING TO IDENTIFY MANUFACTURED ITEMS ‘The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provides rales for the construction of boilers, pressure vessels, and nuclear components, This includes requirements for materials, design, fabrication, examination, inspection, and stamping. [tems constructed in accordance with all of the applicable rules of the Code are identified with the official Certification Mark described in the governing Section of the Code. ‘Markings such as “ASME,” “ASME Standard,” or any other marking including “ASME” or the Certification Mark shall not be used on any item that is not constructed in accordance with all of the applicable requirements of the Code, Items shall not be described on ASME Data Report Forms nor on similar forms referring (o ASME that tend to imply that all Code requirements have been met when, in fact, they have not been. Data Report Forms covering items not fully complying with ASME requirements should, notefer to ASME or they should clearly identify all exceptions to the ASME requirements (10) (a) fa( SUBMITTAL OF TECHNICAL INQUIRIES TO THE BOILER AND PRESSURE VESSEL COMMITTEE — MANDATORY 1 INTRODUCTION (a) The following information provides guidance to Code users for submitting technical inquiries to the Com- mittee, See Guideline on the Approval of New Materials Under the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code in Sec tion I, Parts C and D for additional requirements for requests involving adding new materials o the Code, Tech- nical inguiries include requests for revisions or additions to the Code rules, requests for Code Cases, and requests for Code interpretations, as described below. (1) Code Revisions. Code revisions are considered to accommodate technological developments, address administrative requirements, incorporate Code Cases, orto clarify Code intent. (2) Code Cases. Code Cases represent alternatives or additions to existing Code rules, Code Cases are written as a question and reply, and are usually intended to be incorporated into the Code at a later date, When used, Code Cases prescribe mandatory requirements in the same sense asthe text of the Code. However, users are cautioned that not all jurisdictions or owners automatically accept Code Cases, The most common applications for Code Cases are (a) to permit early implementation of an approved Code revision based on an urgent need (b) to permit the use of a new material for Code construction (c) to gain experience with new materials or alter~ native rules prior ta incorporation directly into the Code (3) Code Interpretations. Code Interpretations provide clatfication of the meaning of existing rules in the Code, and are also presented in question and reply format. Interpretations do not introduce new requirements. In cases where existing Code text does not fully convey the meaning that was intended, and revision of the rules is required to support an interpretation, an Intent Interpretation will be issued and the Code will be revised (b) The Code rules, Code Cases, and Code Interpreta- tions established by the Committee are not to be considered as approving, recommending, certifying, or endorsing any proprietary or specific design, or as limiting in any way the freedom of manufacturers, constructors, or owners to choose any method of design or any form of construction that conforms to the Code rules. (c) Inquiries that do not comply with these provisions or that do not provide sufficient information for the Com- ‘mittee's full understanding may result in the request being returned to the inquirer with no action, 2 INQUIRY FORMAT Submittals to the Committee shall include; (a) Purpose.

It is the poliey of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee to adopt for inclusion in See- tion II, Part C, only such specifications as have been adopted by the American Welding Society (AWS), and by other recognized national or international organizations It is expected that requests for Code approval will nor- mally be for welding and brazing materials (hereafter termed consumables”) for which there is a recognized national or international specification. For consumables made to a recognized national or international specification other than those of the AWS. the inquirer shall give notice ta the standards developing organization that a request has been made to ASME for adoption of their specification ‘under the ASME Code, and shall request thatthe organiza tion to grant ASME permission to reprint the standard, For other consumables, a request shall be made to the AWS, or a recognized national or international organization, develop a specification that can be presented to the Code Committee is the policy of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee to consider requests to adopt new consumables for use by boiler, pressure vessel, or nuclear power plant ‘component Manufacturers or end users. Further, such requests should be for consumables for which there is a reasonable expectation of use in a boiler, pressure vessel, or nuclear power plant component constructed to the rules of one of the Sections of this Code. Application. The inguirer shall identify to the Commit- tee all product forms, size ranges, and specifications for ‘which incorporation is desired, and state whether or not the consumable is covered by patents, whether or not itis licensed, and if licensed, any limitations on its manufactur. Weldability/Brazability. The inquirer shall furnish complete dats on procedure qualification tests made in accordance with the requirements of Section IX. Such tests shall be made over the full range of base metal thickness in which the consumable is to be used. Pertinent information on deposited metal, such as effects from postweld heat ‘treatment, susceptibility to air hardening, effects of joining processes, expected notch toughness values, and the amount of experience in use of the consumable shall be aiven. Physical Changes. For new consumables, itis important to know the structural stability characteristics and the degree of retention of properties with exposure at temperature, The influence of welding or brazing and dhermal ‘weatment operations on the mechanical properties, ductil- ity, and microstructure of the deposited metal are important, particularly where degradation in properties may ‘occur. Where particular temperature ranges of exposure or bat treatment, cooling rates, combinations of mechanical working and thermal treatments, fabrication practices, exposure to particular environments, etc., cause significant changes in the mechanical properties, microstructure, resistance to brite fracture, etc, iis of prime importance {o call attention to those conditions that should be avoided in service or in manufacture of parts or vessels using the consumable, Requests for Additional Data. The Committee may request additional data, including data on properties or deposited metal behavior not explicitly treated in the construction Code in which adoption is desized Code Case. The Code Committee will consider the issuance of an ASME Code Case, to be effective for a period of three years, permitting the treatment of a new welding or brazing material under an existing ASME Section IX ‘grouping for qualification purposes. provided that the following conditions are met (a) The inquixer provides evidence that a request for coverage of the consumable in a specification has been ‘made (o the AWS or a recognized national or international organization; (b) the consumable is commercially available and can bbe purchased within the proposed specification requirements: (c) the inquirer shows that there will be a reasonable demand for the consumable by industry and that there exists an urgency for approval by means of a Code Case: (d) the request for approval of the consumable shall clearly describe it in specification form, including applicable items as scape, process, manufacture, conditions for Xelivery, heat treatment, chemical and tensile requirements, {esting specifications and requirements, workmanship, fin- sh, marking, inspection, and rejection;(e) all other requirements identified previously under Code Policy and Application apply; and (f) the inguiter shall furnish the Code Committee with all the data specified in this Guideline Requirements for Requests for ASME Acceptance of ‘Welding and Brazing Material Specifications to Recog- nized National or International Standards Other Than the AWS, The Committee will consider only requests in accordance with the Boiler and Pressure Vessel Committee Operating and Administrative Procedures, OP-8.6 (English language: U.S. or SUimetric units). The Committee will consider accepting specifications of recognized national or {international organizations in accordance with OP-8,6 such as, but not limited to, AWS, CSA, CEN, DIN, and JIS. ‘Consumable specifications of other than national or international organizations, such as these of consumable produc- cers and suppliers, will not be considered for acceptance. Requirements for Recognized National or Interna- tional Specifications. Acceptable consumable specific tions will be identified by date or edition. Approved edition(s) will be stated in the subtitle of the ASME specification, Minimum requirements that must be contained in ‘a consumable specification for which acceptance is being requested include such items as name of national or interns tional organization, scope, reference documents, process, ‘manufacture, conditions for delivery, heat treatment, chemical and tensile requirements, testing specifications and requirements, workmanship, finish, marking, inspection, and rejection, Publication of Recognized National or International Specifications. Specifications for which ASME has not ’bcen given permission to publish by the originating organization will be referenced on a cover sheet in appropriate Appendices in Section H, Part C, along with information ‘on where to oblain a copy of those documents. Documents that are referenced in non-AWS consumable specifications ‘will not be published by ASME. However, information on where to obtain a copy of those documents will be main- tained in Section Il, Part C. Additions and exceptions to the consumable specification will be noted in the subtitle of the specification ‘New Welding and Brazing Materials Checklist. To assist inquisers desiting Code coverage for new consumables, or extending coverage of existing consumables, the ‘Committee has developed the following checklist of items that ought to be addressed by each inquiry. The Committee reserves the right to request additional data and application information when considering new consumables, (a) Hias a qualified inquirer request been provided? (b) Hias a request for either revision to existing Code requirements or for a Code Case been defined? (c) Has a letter to the AWS been submitted requesting coverage of the new consumable in a specification, and hhas acopy been submitted to the Committee? Alternatively is this consumable already covered by aspecification issued by a recognized national or international organization, and hhas an English language version been provided? (d) Has the Construction Code and Division coverage been identified? (e) Have mechanical property data been submitted (ulti- ‘ate tensile strength, yield strength, reduction of area, and elongation) for each intended joining process? (0) Have toughness considerations required by the Con- struetion Code been defined and has appropriate data been submitted? (g) Have joining requirements been defined and has procedure qualification test data been submitted? (h) Has influence of fabrication practices on deposited ‘etal properties been defined?(19) PREFACE On January 3, 1919, ASME participated with several other organizations in a meeting to discuss the continuation of wartime research in welding, Out of that meeting, the American Welding Society was established and since that time there has been a constant and interwoven record of development by the American Welding Society and The ‘American Society of Mechanical Engineers of the tech- rnigues of welding. Through all of these great years of ‘growth, many of the leaders inthe field of engineering had. the common interest of pressure equipment design and manufacture and the development of welding as a powerful tool in that manufacture. The evolution of this cooperative effort is contained in Professor A. M. Greene's “History of the ASME Boiler Code,” which was published as a series of articles in Mechanical Engineering from July 1952 through August 1953 and is now available from ASME in a special bound edition, The following quotation from this history based on the minutes of the Committee notes the cooperative nature of the work done in the area of welding. “During 1919, 4 number of cases involving welding were referred by the Boiler Code Committee tothe Subcom mittee on Welding. "As the National Welding Council was to be discon: tinwed, a new organization was to be formed to be known ‘as the American Welding Society with which the American Bureau of Welding was to be affliated. This was to be a body representing the entire industry and would eliminate commercial aspects, undertake research and standardiza tion, and act as a judicial body providing a medium for advancing the science and art of welding.” In 1935 the AWS-ASTM Joint Committee on Filler Metal was organized to provide standard specifications for ‘welding rods, electrodes, filler metals, and fluxes for this developing U.S. industry In 1969 these two sponsors agreed to dissolve this joint activity and (o permit the American Welding Sociely to assume sole responsibilty for the family of welding rods, electrodes, filler metal, and flux specifications then in being In 1992, the ASME Board of Pressure Technology Codes aand Standards endorsed the use of materiale produced to other than AWS specifications. It is the intent of ASME to follow its procedures and practices curently in use to implement the adoption of material specifications of AWS and other recognized national or international organiza- Section Il, Part C, contains material specifications, most of which are identical to corresponding specifications published by AWS and other recognized national or international organizations. All adopted specifications are cither reproduced in the Code, where permission to do so has bbeen cbtained from the originating organization, or so ref- crenced, and information about how to obtain them from the originating organization is provided. The ASME Com- mittee reviews all material specifications submitted to it and if itis felt that there is any need to adapt them for Code purposes, revisions are made to them, However, there is constant liaison between ASME and AWS and other recognized national or international organizations, and there will be continuing effort to see thatthe specifications as produced by AWS and other recognized national or {international organizations and those printed in the ASME Code are identical ‘To ensure that there will be a clear understanding on the part of the users of Section Il, ASME publishes both the identical specifications and those amended for Code asage in three Parts every three years, in the same page size to match the other Sections of the Code, and updates are issued to provide the latest changes in Section II specifications ‘The ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code has been adopted into law by 48 states and many municipalities in the United States and by all of the Canadian Provinces,SUMMARY OF CHANGES “The 2011 Code, which includes Addenda changes, is being issued in its entirety.

Manufacturer's Quality Assurance System A.A The certification of the product is accomplished through a quality assurance program, by which the manu- factwer verifies that the product meets the requirements of this specification. Such a program includes planning, documentation, surveillance, inspection, testing, and certification of the test results. It also includes control of the inspection and measuring equipment, as well as control of any nonconforming material, It involves auditing of the activities and provides for developing and implementing any corrective action that may become necessary. AL. ILis the responsibility of the purchaser to review the quality assurance program of the manufacturer for conformance to the purchaser's specific requirements. AL3_ In the case of distributors who receive electrodes in bulk and package them for distribution, or who repack- age under their own label, the distributor, as a minimum, shall maintain an adequate control system to ensure that the package contents are waceable to the original manufacturer's records. Additional quality assurance requirements for distributors shall be as agreed upon between the pur- ‘chaser and the distributor. 14 See AWS A5.02/AS.02M:2007, Specification for Filler Metal Standard Sizes, Packaging. and Physical Atti bbures, for packaging information, ISO $44, Welding con sumables — Technical delivery conditions for welding filer ‘materials — Type of product, dimensions, tolerances and ‘markings, could also be a suitable standad. AR. Retest If the results of any test fail (o meet the requirement, that test shall be repeated twice. The results of both retests shall meet the requirement. Material, specimens, or sam- piles for retest may be taken from the original test assembly fr sample, or from a new test assembly or sample. For chemical analysis, retest need be only for those specific elements that failed to meet the test requirement, If the results of one of both retests fail to meet the requirement, the material under test shall be considered as not meeting the requirements ofthis specification for that classification. In the event that, during preparation or after completion of any tes itis clearly determined that prescribed or proper procedures were not followed in proparing the weld test assembly or test specimens(s) or test sample(3), or in con- acting the test, the test shall be considered invalid, without regard to whether the test was actually completed, or whether est results met, of failed to meet, the requirement. ‘That test shall be repeated, following proper prescribed procedures.

Electrodes with chipped ‘coverings near the ar end, baring the core wire no more than the lesser of % in, [6 mm] or twice the diameter of the core wire, meet the requirements of this speciation provided no chip uncovers more than SO% of the circumfer- ence ofthe core. 34 Flectrode Identification. All electrodes shall be identified as follows 34.1. At least one imprint of the electrode designation (classification plus any optional designators) shall be applied to the electrode covering stating within 2+, in, {65 mm] of the grip end of the electrode. The prefix letter Ein the classification may be omitted from the imprint 342. The numbers and letters of the imprint shall be of bold block typeof a size large enough tobe legible. 1 2011e SECTION I, PART C 34.3. The ink used for imprinting shall provide sufficient contrast with the electrode covering so that, in nor- ‘mal use, the numbers and letters are legible both before and after welding, 3.4.4 When an electrode is classified as meeting the requirements of AS.X and AS.XM, both electrode designs: tions shall be applied, 3.48 If allowed by the specific AS specification, in lieu of imprinting, electrodes may be identified by. (a) attaching securely to the bare grip end of each elec- rode a tag bearing the classification number, of (b) embossing the classification number on the bare grip end of each electrode, In this case a slight fattening of the rip end will be permitted in the area of the embossing. 38 Packaging Electrodes shall be suitably packaged to protect them from damage during shipment and storage under normal conditions, 35.2. Standard package weights shall be as agreed upon between purchaser and supplier. 3.8.3 Hermetically Sealed Containers, When specified for one or more classifications, such as low hydrogen \ypes requiring protection against atmospheric moisture absorption during shipment and storage, electrodes shall be packaged in one of the following manners. 35.3. Rigid Metal Package. The container may be of either steel or aluminum. Each steel container shall have its sides lock-seamed and soldered or seam welded and the top and bottom mechanically seamed containing a suitable organic scalant. Aluminum containers shall be tubes formed in two sections, one fared slightly for a friction fit and the closure seam shall be sealed with a suitable pressure sensitive tape, Metal containers after load- ing at ambient pressure and sealing shall be capable of passing the leak test as follows: ‘Unit containers shall be immersed in water that is ata temperature of atleast 50°F [10°C] above that ofthe pack= aged material (room temperature). The container shall be immersed so that the surface under observation is 1 in 25 mm) below the water surface and the greatest basic dimension of the container is parallel to the surface of the water. A leaker is indicated by a steady stream of air bubbles emanating from the container. A container with @ stream that lass for 30 seconds or more does not meet the requirements of this specification. 3.5.3.2 Vacuum Package. High density plastic pouches laminated with a suitable foil vapor barzier shal be heat sealed after filling and evacuating. The pouches shall be overpacked with an outer container to protect it from damage that will cause loss of vacuum. Packages Which show the contents to be loose withia the pouch do rot meet the requirements of this specification2011a SECTION 1, PART € 3.5.3.3 Other Package Construction. As agreed ‘upon between purchaser and supplier, alternate packaging for protection of electrode coverings from absorption of moisture in excess of that specified by the classification shall be demonstrated by suitable tests, such as those described above, 3.6 Marking of Packages 3.6.1. The following product information (as a mini ‘mum) shall be legibly marked on the outside of each unit package (a) AWS specification and classification designations along with applicable optional designators (year of issue may be excluded) (b) Supplier's name and trade designation (c) Size and net weight (4) Lot, control, ot heat number 3.6.2. The appropriate precautionary information,’ as, given in ANSI Z49.1, latest edition, (as a minimum) or its cequivaleat, shall be prominently displayed in legible print on all packages of electrodes, including individual unit packages enclosed within a larger package. Bare Solid and Tubular Electrodes and Rods 4.1 Standard Sizes and Shapes 4.2.1. Standard sizes of filler metal (except strip elec trodes) and straight lengths of rods and their tolerances are shown in Table 2 4.2.2. Standard sizes for strip electrodes in coils are shown in Table 3 4.2 Finish and Uniformity 4.2.1. All filler metal shall have a smooth finish that is free from slivers, depressions, scratches, scale, seams, laps (exclusive of the longitudinal joint in flux cored or ‘metal cored filler metal), and foreign matter that would adversely affect the welding characteristics or the properties of the weld metal 4.2.2. Each continuous length of filler metal shall be from a single heat or lot of material, and welds, when present, shall have been made so as not to interfere with the uniform, uninterrupted feeding of the filler metal on automatic and semiautomatic equipment. 42.3. The core ingredients in dlux cored and metal cored filler metal shall be distributed with sufficient uni- ormity throughout the length of the electrode s0 as not to adversely affect the performance of the electrode or the properties of the weld metal or deposited weld overlay “Typical examples of “warning labels” ar shown in figures in ANSI 748.1 for some common of specie consumables used wit eenan po- SFA-SOUSFA-S02M 4.24. A suitable protective coating may be applied to any filler metal except as specifically restricted by the classification in the filler metal specification. 43 Packaging 4.3.1, Filler metals shall be suitably packaged to protect them from damage during shipment and storage under normal conditions. 43.2. Standard package forms are straight lengths, coils with support, coils without support, spools, and drums, Standard package dimensions for each form are given in Table 4, Dimensions for standard spools are given in Figs. 1A through ID, Package forms and sizes other than these shall be as agreed upon between purchaser and. supplier: 4.3.3. The liners in coils with support shall be designed and constructed to prevent distortion of the coil during normal handling and use, and shall be clean and. dry enough to maintain the cleanliness of the filler metal. 434. Spools shall be designed and constructed to prevent distortion of the spool and the filler metal during ‘normal handling and use, and shall be clean and dry enough, to maintain the cleanliness of the filler metal, 43.5. As agreed upon between purchaser and supplier, alternate packaging for protection of filler metals from environmental or other conditions may be specified, "This packaging may include, but not be limited to, hermetically sealed packaging as specilied in 3.5.3 44: Winding Requirements 44.1. Filler metal on spools and in coils (including drums) shall be wound so that kinks, waves, sharp bends, overlapping, or wedging are not encountered, leaving the filler metal free to unwind without restriction. The outside cnd of the filler metal (the end with which welding is to begin) shall be identified so it can be located readily and shall be fastened to avoid unwinding. 44.2 The cast and helix of filler metal in coils, spools, and drums shall be such that the filler metal will feed in an uninterrupted manner in automatic and semiautomatic equipment 45 Filler Metal Identification 45.1 Bach bare straight length filler rod shall be durably marked with identification traceable to the unique product type of the manufacturer or supplier. Suitable ‘methods of identification could include stamping, coining, ‘embossing, imprinting, flag-tagging, or color coding. ccolor-coding is used, the choice of color shall be as agreed upon between the purchaser and supplier, and the color shall be identified on the packaging.) When the AWS classification designation is used, the ER may be omitted; for ‘example, "308L” for classification “ER308L."
