3.3 Core wire. The core wire shall be free from injurious defects such as segregations and non-
metallic inclusions and shall conform to the compositional requirements specified in 3.5.1.
3.4 Covering of electrodes.
3.4.1 Concentricity. The covering on all sizes of electrodes shall be concentric to the extent that
the maximum core-plus-one covering dimension shall not exceed the minimum core-plus-one
covering dimension by more than the following percentages of the mean dimension (see 4.6.2):
Electrode size, in. (mm)
Percentage of mean dimension
3/32 (2.4) and smaller
7
1/8 (3.2) and larger
5
3.4.2 Uniformity. The coverings shall be such as to be consumed uniformly.
3.4.3 Dielectric strength. The coverings of electrodes at room temperature and in the dry
condition, as removed from freshly opened containers, shall have a dielectric strength sufficient to
insulate effectively against a difference of potential of 110 volts AC, 60 cycles.
