RECOMMENDED METHODS OF REPORTING WELD METAL HYDROGEN CONTENTS

An evaluation is made of a method, used for electrode classificaiton purposes, of reporting weld metal hydrogen contents based on deposited metal. It is recommended that for comparing processes and predicting procedures, a different basis of reporting be used which more closely approximates true concentrations. To avoid possible confusion between hydrogen levels reported on a deposited metal basis and the more accurate representation of concentration on a fused metal basis, two different sets of units are recommended.
