How should low hydrogen electrodes be stored before use?
Original unopened containers or in ovens held at a temperature that ensures the maintenance of their low moisture content
What joint fit should you insist on?
Within tolerances specified on drawings or specifications

Fillet welds may be measured using a tolerance of:
—1/32
