Red Seal Welding Practice Exam

What is the approximate temperature for storing low hydrogen electrodes?

1. Room temperature

2. 30°-140° above ambient temperature

3. Below freezing

4. 50°-100° above ambient temperature

The correct answer is: 30°-140° above ambient temperature

Storing low hydrogen electrodes at room temperature (A) would not be appropriate as it is typically higher than the recommended temperature range. Below freezing (C) is also not the correct option as it is too low and could affect the integrity of the electrodes. Option D is closer to the optimal temperature range, but it is not specific to low hydrogen electrodes and also includes a wider range which could potentially damage the electrodes. The recommended temperature range for storing low hydrogen electrodes is between 30°-140° above ambient temperature (B).
