AWS A5.1/A5.1M

This specification prescribes requirements for theclassification of carbon steel electrodes for shielded metal arcwelding.

Safety and health issues and concerns are beyond the scope ofthis standard and, therefore, are not fully addressed herein. Somesafety and health information can be found in Informative AnnexClauses A5 and A10. Safety and health information is available fromother sources, including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1,Safety in Welding, Cutting, and AlliedProcesses,¹ and applicable federal and stateregulations.

This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units andthe International System of Units (SI). The measurements are notexact equivalents; therefore, each system must be usedindependently of the other without combining in any way whenreferring to material properties. The specification with thedesignation A5.1 uses U.S. Customary Units. The specification A5.1Muses SI Units. The latter are shown within brackets ([ ]) or inappropriate columns in tables and figures. Standard dimensionsbased on either system may be used for sizing of filler metal orpackaging or both under A5.1 or A5.1M specifications.
