1. This certificate complies with the requirements of EN 10204, Type 2.2.
2. The electrode size required to be tested for this classification is 5/32 inch. All other sizes manufactured will also meet these requirements.
3. Test assembly constructed of ASTM A537 steel.
4. Radiographic Inspection: Met requirements.
5. Results below the detection limits of the instrument or lower than the precision required by the specification are reported as zero. Strength values in SI
units are reported to the nearest 10 MPa converted from actual data. Preheat and interpass temperature values in SI units are reported to the nearest
5 degrees.
