D) Return of un-used consumables, ID system (Procedure)
& reconditioning Procedure is being followed
by all responsible for the work.
B Storage of Welding Consumables.

Non-low hydrogen electrodes to A5.1 or A5.5 are stored in a dry SAES-W-011,

B1
environment. Attachment 1

SAES-W-011,
B2 All fluxes are stored in sealed containers in a dry environment.
Attachment 1

All electrodes & filler wires for SAW, GTAW, GMAW, & FCAW are stored in SAES-W-011,
B3
sealed containers in dry environment. Attachment 2

All electrodes and filler wires for SAW, GTAW, GMAW, and FCAW that SAES-W-011,
B4
have visible rusting or contamination are discarded. Attachment 2

GTAW filler metals have either AWS/ASME identification or the

SAES-W-011
B5 manufacture's identification marked on each individual rod, by the
Para. 6.3
manufacture, with flags, stencils or stamps.

C Handling & Conditioning of Electrodes

Storage ovens have continuous power supply during working and non- SAES-W-011,
C1
working hours or days (nights and weekends). Attachment 1

Storage and Re-bake ovens have calibrated Temperature Gauge. SAES-W-011,

C2
(Note 1 of SAES-W-011, Table 1) Attachment 1

Portable electrode storage ovens are kept at a minimum temperature of SAES-W-011,

C3
65C. Attachment 1

Atmospheric exposure of low hydrogen electrodes shall not exceed:

a) A5.1 electrodes : 4 hours (Open to atm) / 8 hours (if continuously kept in
portable oven at 65C).
b) A5.5 (E70XX & E80XX): 2 hours (Open to atm) / 4 hours
SAES-W-011,
C4 (electrodes continuously kept in portable oven at 65C).
Attachment 1
c) Low hydrogen electrodes with strengths > E80XX: 30 mins (Opento
atm) / 1 hour (if continuously kept in portable oven at 65C)
d) S. Steel and non-ferrous electrodes: 4 hours (Open to atm)
and 8 hours if continuously kept in portable oven at 65C.

The electrodes which has exceeded the permitted atmospheric exposure as

SAES-W-011,
C5 stated in Item B7 above and electrodes with damaged hermetically sealed
Attachment 1
containers shall undergo drying prior to its ssue for welding.

Drying of electrodes was performed as follows:

A) 2 hours minimum at 260-430C for A5.1 Low-hy electrodes. SAES-W-011,
C6
B) 2 hours minimum at 370-430C for A5.5 Low-hy electrodes. Attachment 1
C) 2 hours minimum at 120-250C for SS & non-ferrous electrodes.

Electrodes are re-dried only once and marked or segregated prior to re- SAES-W-011,
C7
issue. Attachment 1

Electrodes exposed to the atmosphere for less than the permitted duration
SAES-W-011,
C8 are re-conditioned or returned to the holding oven for 4 hours at 120°C
Attachment-1
before re-issue.

Any electrodes (low hydrogen or non-low-hydrogen) and fluxes that have SAES-W-011,
C9
been wet or moist are discarded. Attachment 1&2

Opened SAW flux containers are stored continuously in ovens at 65C SAES-W-011,
C10
minimum, or at mfg's recommendation, whichever is greater. Attachment 1
