a. The abbreviations indicate the welding as follows

F = Flat
H = Horizontal
H-files = Horizontal fillets
V-down = Vertical with downward progression
V = Vertical (For electrodes 3/16 in (4.8mm) and under, except5/32
0H = Overhead and under for classifications E7014, E7015, E7016,
b. The term "deep" refers to direct current electrode positive (de, reserve pol
direct current electrode negative (de, straight polarity).
c. Electrodes of the E6022 classification are intended to single-pass welds o
d. Electrodes with supplemental elongation, notch, toughness, absorbed moi
requirements may be further identified.
