Technical inquiries 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, or to 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 as the text of the Code. However, users are cautioned that not all jurisdictions oF owners automati- cally 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) (o permit the use of a new material for Code construction (c) to gain experience with new materials oralter- native rules prior to incorporation directly into the Code (3) Code Interpretations. Code Interpretations pro: vide clarification 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 Interpreta- tion 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 consid ered as approving, recommending, certifying, or endorsing any proprietary or specific design, oras limiting in any way the freedom of manufacturers, constructors, fr owners to choose any method of design or any form of construction that conforms to the Code rules. (e) Inquiries that do not comply with the provisions. of this Apperdix or that do not provide sufficient informa tion for the Committee'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. Specify one of the following: (1) revision of present Code rules (2) new or additional Code rules (3) Code Case (4) Code Interpretation (b) Background.

Scope 1.1. This specification preseribes requirements for the classification of carbon steel electrodes for shielded metal are welding. 1.2. Safety and health issues and concems are beyond the scope of this standard and, therefore, are not fully ‘addressed herein, Some safety and health information ean be found in the Nonmandatory Annex Sections AS and A1O. Safety and health information is available from other sources, including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1 Safety in Welding, Cuting, and Allied Processes,! and applicable federal and state regulations 1.3 Thisspecification makes use of both U.S. Custom- ary Units and the International System of Units (SI). The ‘measurements are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other without ‘combining in any way when referring to material proper lies. The specification with the designation AS.1 uses U.S. Customary Units. The specification AS.1M uses SI] Units. The later are shown within brackets [ ] or in appropriate columns in tables and figures. Standard «dimensions based on either system may be used for sizing of filler metal or packaging or both under AS.1 or AS.IM specifications, PART A — GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 2.

Classification 3.1. The welding electrodes covered by the AS.1 speci- fication utilize 2 system based on U.S. Customary Units to classify the welding electrodes covered according to: (a) type of current (see Table 1) (b) type of covering (see Table 1) {c) welding position (see Table 1) {d) mechanical properties of the eld metal ia the as- welded or aged condition (see Tables 2 and 3). 3M. The welding electrodes covered by the AS.IM specification utilize a system based on International Sys- tem of Units 10 classify the welding electrodes covered sceording to {a) type of current (see Table 1) {b)} type of covering (see Table 1) (c) welding postion (see Table 1) {ad} amechanical properties of the weld metal in the as. ‘welded or aged condition (see Tables 2 and 3). 3.2. Material classified under one classification shall not be classified under any other classification in one specification, although it may be classified under both specifications, except that E7018M [B4918M] may also be classified as E7018 [64918] provided the electrode meets all of the requirements of both classifications 1. Acceptance Acceptance of the welding electrodes shall be in accor- dance with the provisions of AWS A502, Filler Memat Procurement Guidelines. 5. Certification By affixing the AWS specification and classification designations to the packaging, or the classification to the product, the manufacturer certifies thatthe product meets the requirements of this specification 6. Rounding-Off Procedure For the purpose of determining conformance with this specification, an observed or calculated value shall be rounded to the nearest 1000 psi for tensile and yield 180 standards can be obtained from American National Standards Insitute, 11 West Rnd Stee, New York, NY 30036 8002 Se 4 fin Annex A fo arher information concerning cetiicaion andthe testing elle for to met ths requirement 2008 SECTION I strength for AS.1, or 10 the nearest 10 MPa for tensile and yield strength for AS.IM and to the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting values for other quantities in accordance with the rounding-off method given in ASTM E 29, Standard Practice for Using Significant Digits in Test Dara 10 Determine Conformance with Specifications. PART B — TESTS, PROCEDURES, AND REQUIREMENTS, 7. Summary of Fests The tests required foreach clasiticaion are specified in Table 4. The purpose of these rests is to determine the chemical composition, mechanical properties, and sound ness of the weld metal, moisture content of the low: hydrogen electrode covering, aad the usability of the electrode. The base metal for the weld test assemblies, the welding and testing procedures to be employed. and te results required are given in Sections 9 through 18. ‘The supplemental tests for absorbed moisture, in Section 17, and diffusible hydrogen, in Section 18, are not required for classification ofthe low-hydrogen electrodes ‘xcept for E7018M [E4918M), where these are required [see Notes (9) and (13) of Table 4] Retest If the results of any test fail to meet the requirement, that test shall be repeated twice. The results of both retests shall meet the requirement. Specimens for retest may be taken from the original test assembly or from a new test assembly. For chemical analysis, retest need be only for those specific elements that failed to meet the test requie- ment. I the results of one of both retest fail © meet the requirement, the material under test shall be considered as not meeting the requirements of this specification for that classification.
