This standard describes methods for sample preparation andanalysis for determination of total moisture content and othersources of hydrogen measured as water from welding fluxes andelectrode coverings. The methods of analysis are suitable forshielded metal arc electrode coverings and submerged arcfluxes.
It is not the intent of this standard directly herein toclassify arc welding electrodes or fluxes as to the total watercontent measured. However, it is intended that this standard beused as the standard test method for classification purposes to bereferenced in individual filler metal specifications prepared bythe AWS Committee on Filler Metals and Allied Materials and itssubcommittees.
In addition to its use for classification purposes, it isintended that this standard be used for quality conformance testingof arc welding electrodes and fluxes. It is recommended that thisstandard be used for development and reporting research results sothat the results may be directly compared with results from otherlaboratories.
This standard does not purport to address the safety and healthprecautions, if any, associated with the use of these proceduresprescribed in this standard. It is the responsibility of the userof these procedures to establish appropriate safety and healthpractices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitationsprior to use.
