Description:

P 48K is a basic-coated low hydrogen electrode producing a 2.5 % Ni weld metal. The all-positional

electrode is designed for applications demanding high yield strength and excellent fracture toughness

at temperatures down to -60 °C, both in the as welded and stress relieved condition, and is suitable

for offshore fabrication and LPG work.

P 48K is CTOD tested
