PIPELINER 18P AWS: E8018-G H4 Low Hydrogen Stick (SMAW) Electrode
A real workhorse for vertical up
welding jobs up to X80 pipe!
Lincoln 18P offers low temperature
impact properties down to -50°F
(
-46°C).
ADVANTAGE LINCOLN
• Low temperature impact properties
down to -50°F (-46˚C).
• Square burnoff makes welding
easier, especially in critical pipe
welding applications.
• Manufactured under a quality
system certified to ISO 9001
requirements.
• Manufactured to actual lot control.
Actual certificates of conformance
are available upon request.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Primarily designed for vertical up fill
and cap pass welding of high
strength pipe up to and including
API 5L-X80.
