The weld test consists of three positions on 1/2-inch carbon steel plates with no backing: horizontal, uphill vertical, and overhead. The test uses .045-inch E71T-1 flux-cored wire, and only stringer weld passes are allowed. The physical work may involve shifts of up to 12 hours in varying temperatures and outdoor conditions.
