Low Alloy Steel Covered Welding Rod for Pressure Vessels
ASME SFA-5.5 E7015-G
BS EN ISO 2560-B-E 49 15-N 1 P
GB/T 5118 E5015-G
Type of Covering: Low hydrogen, sodium
Welding Position: F, H, HF, OH, V
Type of Current: DCEP
Features & Applications
It is used for welding pressure vessels and pressure pipes fabricated by high tensile strength
low alloy steels as well as for pressure structures made by dissimilar steels of high tensile
strength low alloy steels with heat-resisting low alloy steels or low alloy cryogenic steels. The
weld metal has excellent performance of plasticity, impact toughness and crack resistance.

Notice: 1) The rods should be baked at 380℃-400℃ for 1-2 hours before use.
2) The surfaces to be welded must be cleaned away impurities of oil contamination,
rust, moisture and so on.
3) Short arc and narrow-gap welding is recommended.
