METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF
DIFFUSIBLE-HYDROGEN CONTENT OF

ELECTRODES IN WELDING MILD AND
LOW ALLOY STEELS
0. FOREWORD
1.SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the procedures for determination of content of
diffusible hydrogen in deposited weld metal arising from the use of shielded
3
IS:11802 - 1986
metal arc electrodes for welding mild and low alloy steels by mercury and
glycerin methods. For glycerin method, the values reported shall be in
terms of evaluation by mercury method using the formula given in
Appendix A. The glycerin method shall be used as a routine method. The
mercury method shall be used as a referee method in case of disputes, in
addition to being used as a routine method.
2. TERMINOLOGi’
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : 812 - 1957*
shall apply.
3. PRINCIPLES OF MEASUREMENT
3.1 Mercury Method - The diffusible hydrogen content of the weld metal
sample is made to collect over mercury at room temperature for sufficient
time. The amount of hydrogen thus released is measured by volumetric
methods.
3.2 Glycerin Method - The diffusible hydrogen content is made to collect
over glycerin in a bath maintained at 45 ‘C for sufficient time. The amount
of hydrogen thus evolved is measured volumetrically.
4
IS:11802-1986
5. MERCURY METHOD
5.1 Apparatus - An audiometer type gas burette shown in Fig. 1 may be
used for the test. Burettes of other design my be employed provided that
the following criteria are fulfilled:
a) Mercury is used as the confining fluid.

5.2 Welding Jig - A copper jig shown in Fig. 2 shall be used in preparing
the specimens.

IS:11802 -1986
53.1 Triplicate sets of test pieces conforming to 4.1 and having a cross
section of 10 x 15 mm and length of 30 mm shall be used for each type of
electrode being tested. The test pieces shall be degassed at 650°C for one
hour and then kept in a desiccator in dry condition prior to use.
5.3.2 The test piece a’ssembly shown in Fig. 3 consists of run-on and
run-off pieces and a central sample section of 30 mm length. The 30 mm
centre portion shall have a length tolerance of & O-25 mm and shall be
weighed nearest to. IO mg before testing.
5.3.3 Welding - The temperature of the ji,0 shall be 30 .-t 10°C before
testing. The welding current shall be 15 amperes less than the maximum
recommended by the manufacturer, the Fachine setting being controlled to
within -& 5 amperes. The speed of welding shall be adjusted to an elect-
rode consumption between 12 and 13 mm per IO mm of bead length. The
time spent on the deposition shall be noted.
5.3.4 A bead of 100 mm length shall be deposited along the centre-line
of each test assembly. No burning off of the tip of the electrode prior to
testing is allowed.
5.3.5 Three seconds after extinction of the arc, the jig shall be released
and the test piece assembly shall be quenched in iced water and subsequently
in alcohol or acetone saturated with carbon dioxide at a temperature
of - 50°C or below. The sample pieces shall be broken apart while cold,
using brief intermittent periods of cooling; the intervals spent outside the
cooling bath in these operations shall not exceed IO seconds each. The
samples may now be stored at or below -WC for a period upfo 3 days
before analysis.

6. GLYCERIN METHOD
6.2.2 Welding
6.2.2.1 The size of electrodes used for Jeposition of weld bead and the
drying of electrodes shall be in accordance with 4.2.
6.2.2.2 The welding is carried out with a short arc. The welding current
shall be 15 amperes less than the maximum specified by the manufacturer.
No burn-off of the tip is allowed before the test.
6.2.2.3 On the 25 mm surface of each test specimen prepared as per
6.2.1, a single bead of weld measuring approximately 100 mm in length shall
be deposited.
9
IS:11802 - 1986
6.3 Test Procedure - Within 30 seconds of deposition of the bead, the slag
shall be removed and the sample quenched in iced water having a tempera-
ture not exceeding 5°C for a p,eriod of 30 seconds. Within 10 seconds
thereafter, the sample shall be cleaned and then placed in the glycerin bath
for collection of hydrogen by displacement of glycerin. The total time spent
from the completion of the welding till the transfer of the sample to the
glycerin bath shall not exceed 70 seconds. The glycerin bath shall be
maintained at 45 f 1°C during the test. All the four specimens shall be
welded and placed in the glycerin bath within 30 minutes.
10
IS :11802 - 1986
6.4 Calculation and Exprekion of Test Results - The volume VI, of diffusi-
ble hydrogen per 100 g of deposited metal shall be calcualted from the
following formula:
B 293 100
vh = VP x -7T ’ (274 + T,:) ’ (M2@;)
where
vh = volume of diffusible hydrogen in ml per 100 g of deposited
metal at NTP ( 0°C and 760 mm Hg ),
V, - volume of gas evolved in burette in ml after4S 11,
B = barometric pressure in mm Hg,
TK = room temperature in “C when V, is measured,
M2 = mass of sample in g after removal from apparatus, and
M, = mass of sample in g before deposition of weld.
