This electrode, and others of the same AWS classification, are not required to deposit weld metal capable of delivering any minimum specified Charpy V-
Notch (CVN ) properties. It should not be used in applications where minimum specified CVN properties are required. Typical applications where minimum
specified CVN properties are required include, but are not restricted to, bridges, pressure vessels, and buildings in seismic zones. The user of this product
is responsible for determining whether minimum CVN properties are required for the specific application.
T E S T R E S U LT S
Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and diffusible hydrogen levels were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed
standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not
limited to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appro-
priate means, the suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.

RADIOGRAPHIC GUIDELINES
The opacity of NR-203MP slag to x-ray is such that slag inclusions will normally appear lighter than the weld.
Voids will normally appear darker than the weld. When using gamma-radiography, slag inclusions and voids will
normally appear darker than the weld. Improved x-ray film readability usually can be obtained by slight over-
exposure at an excitation potential consistent with good x-ray practice, but not over 240 KV. For detailed
information on welding techniques, procedure adjustments, and their effects on weld appearance and quality,

This electrode has been tested in accordance with FEMA 353 - Recommended Specifications and Quality Assurance Guidelines for Steel Moment-Frame
Construction for Seismic Applications and is capable of depositing weld metal that delivers minimum CVN properties of 40 ft.lbf at 70˚ F (54 Joules at 21˚ C)
at low and high heat input levels. As required by the AWS classification, it meets a minimum CVN of 20 ft.lbf at -20˚ F (27 Joules at -29˚ C), when tested in
accordance with AWS A5.20. This electrode will also deposit metal that will meet the requirements for H16 as tested according to AWS A4.3. FEMA
certificates are available upon request.
TEST RESULTS
Test results for mechanical properties, deposit or electrode composition and diffusible hydrogen levels were obtained from a weld produced and tested according to prescribed
standards, and should not be assumed to be the expected results in a particular application or weldment. Actual results will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited
to, weld procedure, plate chemistry and temperature, weldment design and fabrication methods. Users are cautioned to confirm by qualification testing, or other appropriate means, the
suitability of any welding consumable and procedure before use in the intended application.
