BS EN ISO 6847:2001

BS EN ISO 6847:2001 specifies the procedure to be used for deposition of a weld metal pad for chemical analysis. It applies to deposition of a weld metal pad by use of covered electrodes, wire electrodes for gas shielded metal arc welding, tubular cored electrodes for gas shielded arc metal welding and for self-shielded metal arc welding, tubular cored rods for gas tungsten arc welding, and wire-flux combinations for submerged arc welding.

BS EN ISO 6847 is applicable to welding consumables for non-alloy and fine grain steels, high strength steels, creep-resistant steels, stainless and heatresistant steels, nickel and nickel alloys, and copper and copper alloys.

BS EN ISO 6847:2001 replaces BS EN 26847:1994 which is withdrawn.
