This specification prescribes requirements for theclassification of carbon steel electrodes (both solid andcomposite) and fluxes for submerged arc welding.
This document is the first of the A5.17 specifications which isa combined specification providing for classification utilizing asystem based upon U.S. Customary Units, or utilizing a system basedupon the International System of Units (SI). The measurements arenot exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be usedindependently of the other, without combining values in any way. Inselecting rational metric units, ANSI/AWS A1.1, Metric PracticeGuide for the Welding Industry, is used where suitable. Tablesand Figures make use of both U.S. Customary Units and SI Unitswhich, with the application of the specified tolerances, providesfor interchange-ability of products in both U.S. Customary and SIUnits.
(1) Paragraphs, tables and figures which carry the suffix letter”U” are applicable only to those products classified to the systembased upon U.S. Customary Units under the A5.17 specification.
(2) Paragraphs, tables and figures which carry the suffix letter”M” are applicable only to those products classified to the systembased upon the International System of Units (SI), under the A5.17Mspecification.
(3) Paragraphs, tables and figures which do not have either thesuffix letter “U” or the suffix letter “M” are applicable to thoseproducts classified under either the U.S. Customary Units System orthe International System of Units (SI).
