89 VERSION CONTAINED IN ASME PV CODE 2C AS SFA-5.17 Provides requirements for the classification of solid and composite carbon steel electrodes and fluxes for submerged arc welding. Electrode classification is based on chemical composition of the solid electrode or of low dilution weld metal produced with a composite electrode. Flux classification is based on the soundness and mechanical properties of weld metal produced with the flux and an electrode classified herein. The requirements include sizes, marking, manufacturing and packaging. The form and usability of the flux are also included.
