This specification prescribes requirements for theclassification, based on underwater wet welding test and associatedevaluation, of covered electrodes for underwater wet shielded metalarc welding. Requirements for certification of test results arealso shown herein. The specification covers ferritic steel,austenitic stainless steel, and nickel filler metals plus anyauxiliary coatings applied over the electrode covering. Unlessotherwise specified herein, the term “manufacturer” refers to theprovider of the finished product (the electrode ready forunderwater use). The requirements herein are intended to classifyelectrodes without consideration for potential base metals to bewelded; suitability for specific base metals should be establishedby the customer during welding procedure qualification testing (seeAnnex A for further considerations).
This specification does not govern depth of water capability ormaximum exposure time for wet welding electrodes classified to thisdocument. However, such information shall be clearly shown asrequired by the marking requirements of Clause 14.
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 Annex A.Safety and health information is available from other sources,including, but not limited to, ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding,Cutting, and Allied Processes, and applicable federal and stateregulations.
