Description:
P 48S is a basic-coated, low hydrogen, general purpose electrode for use on DC+ only, for which the
outstanding all-round operability has been optimised. The smooth, soft arc, easy slag control,
all-positional welding, low spatter and excellent slag release provide maximum welder-appeal.
P 48S combines the good running characteristics required for general fabrication work with the
exacting operability needs for pipe welding, where the fine spray transfer provides precise weld pool
control and ensures an exceptionally regular and smooth root bead.
