Any change to the process or formulation (other than wording for clarification)
shall require retesting of the flux to the classification requirements per 1.
• Filler Metal
• The filler metal sample shall be a 13 mm [0.5 in] length, plus/minus 1.3 mm [0.05
in], of 1.6 mm [0.062 in] diameter wire of the AWS classification given in Table
Exceptions are noted.
