Electrodes: Applications:
LNS 129 (L-61) For up to x65 grade where impacts are not required. For low hardness requirements for sour service.
LNS 140A (L-70) For up to x80 grade on longitudinal seam welds. For up to x70 grade on spiral pipe seam welds due to high interpass temperatures.
LNS 140ID For ID weld up to x80. Best solution for low hardness requirements for sour service
LNS 140TB (LA-81) For up to x90 grade where very low temperature toughness is required. Often used with LNS140A or LNS140ID on first pass side.
LA-100 For tack welding of X80 up to X120
