Can anyone point me to a spec sheet for Nu5 Rods

[AdrianH]

The rods I have have the following written on them

E43 32C
Nu5 E 6011

I thought initially ESAB but ESAB do not seem to list them.

I would like to check out voltages current range etc.

Many thanks

Adrian

Search esab nufive not nu5

Are they 2.5 or 3.2, do you want to sell any?

Thought New Five were Lincoln

 

[wheresmejumper]

No amp settings but I'd say 40-75 and 75-110

They were given to me, possibly may have got damp at one point although no signs of rust. So would be very remiss to sell on, the aim is to use them if possible hence a need to discover proper storage and 'drying' or 'wetting' as well as current and voltage.

Had a look on ESAB and the only thing found that seemed close was mention of Pipeweld in 6011 on the COSHH wheresmejumper listed the classification is different, perhaps as the rods have the E43 32C and the COSHH sheet refers to E38 2C, have I got that correct is it a different rod?

To much confusion in my brain.

I'd just hoof them in the oven for a few hours on a medium heat and then try some

You could,but they would be ruined

Dont do anything to them.trust me,the amps i mentioned are a good guide

Fair enough, teach me to not read stuff properly! I bow down to your knowledge sir

Was running them at around 60 to 65 for 2.5mm so OK I guess I was in the ball park.

Like every rod you need to experiment up and down the amp range,for each particular fit up.
they are a cellulose rod,so never bake.

Ha! I just skim read and thought they were just 6013s

Cells require around 5% moisture, as do other rod spec. Baking will not help.
