DESCRIPTION OF CODE LETTERS IN TABLE Il:
‘A. As specified in Table | for material corresponding to either the higher or lower Base Material
Number.
C. ASME SFA-5.4 E309 electrode or SFA-5.9 ER309 wire when design temperature is less
than 700°F (371°C) and post weld heat treatment will not be done. ASME SFA-5.11 ENiCrFe-2
electrode or SFA-S.14 ERNICr-3 for other conditions except in sulphur service. For sulfur
service, specific requirements shall be requested from the Purchaser.
D. As specified in Table | for the material with the higher Base Material Number.
E. ASME SFA-5.11, ENICiFe-2 electrodes and ASME SFA-6.14, ERNICr-3 rods shall be used
where design temperature exceeds 1000°F (538°C). ASME SFA-5.4, E310 electrodes may be
used where design temperatures are below 1000°F (538°C) and expected to be relatively
constant after startup. All rods, including alternates, require written approval by the Purchaser.
F. ASME SFA-AS.4, £308 electrodes or as specified in Table | for the material having the
higher Base Material Number.
G. ASME SFA-5.11, ENiCiFe-2 electrodes and SFA-5.14 ERNICr-S rods shall be used.
H. For design temperatures of thru 1500°F (816°C), ENICrFe-2 or ERNICr-< shall be used. For
design temperatures greater than 1500°F (816°C), ERNICrCoMo-1 filer metal or ENiCrCoMo-1
electrodes shall be used. * Welding of these material combinations not permitted without
permission from the Purchaser.
