This specification prescribes requirements for the classification oflow-alloy steel electrodes (both solid and composite) and fluxes forsubmerged arc welding.
This document is the first of the A5.23 specifications which is acombined specification providing for classification utilizing a systembased upon U.S. Customary Units, or utilizing a system based upon theInternational System of Units (SI).The measurements are not exactequivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of theother, without combining values in any way.In selecting rationalmetric units, ANSI/AWA A1.1, Metric Practice Guide for the WeldingIndustry, is used where suitable.Tables and Figures make use of bothU.S. Customary Units and SI Units which, with the application of thespecified tolerances, provides for interchangeability of products inboth U.S. Customary and SI Units.
(1) Paragraphs, tables, and figures which carry the suffix letter "U"are applicable only to those products classified to the system basedupon U. S. Customary Units under the A5.23 specification.
(2) Paragraphs, tables, and figures which carry the suffix letter "M"are applicable only to those products classified to the system based uponthe International System of Units (SI), under the A5.23M specification.
(3) Paragraphs, tables, and figures which do not have either the suffixletter "U" or the suffix letter "M" are applicable to those productsclassified under either the U.S. Customary Units System or theInternational System of Units (SI).
