| a.
The letter suffix "X" as used in this table stands for the suffixes
A1, B1, B2, etc. and designates the chemical composition of the deposited |
| weld
metal. |
| b.
The abbreviations F, V, OH, H, and H-fillets indicate welding positions as
follows: F = Flat; H = Horizontal; H-fillets = Horizontal fillets; |
| V
= Vertical; OH = Overhead - for electrodes 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) and under,
except 5/32 in. (4.0 mm) and under for classifications EXX15-X, |
| EXX16-X,
and EXX18-X. |
| c.
DCEP means electrode positive (reverse polarity). DCEN means electrode
negative (straight polarity). |
