STICK ELECTRODES
Murex stick electrodes are packaged in either cartons or hermetically sealed
easy-open cans. Unopened cans of electrode will retain their proper moisture
content indefinitely when stored in good condition.
Cartons are available in the 50 lb. (23 kg) size and easy open cans come in
several weight sizes from 8 to 50 lbs. (4 to 23 kg).
• The Accu-Trak Drum requires a K884-5 (500 lb.) or K884-6 (1000 lb.) Accu-Trak Drum Payoff Kit
to ensure accurate feeding.
Improved wire feedability and reduced tangling will propel your productivity to the next level with
Murex Accu-Trak bulk products. Field-tested and approved, many customers have experienced

These electrodes 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.
These electrodes and others of the same AWS classification, are not required to deposit weld metal that is low in diffusible hydrogen. Therefore, these electrodes should not be used in
applicationns where the hydrogen content of the weld metal is required to be controlled.
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 Test 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.
