METHODS FOR DETERMINATION OF
DIFFUSIBLE-HYDROGEN CONTENT OF
DEPOSITED WELD METAL FROM COVERED

0. FOREWORD
0.1This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution
on 14 August 1986, after the draft finalized by the Welding General Sectional Committee had been approved by the Structural and Metals Division
Council.
0.2 This standard covers the methods for determination
of diffusible
hydrogen of deposited weld metal by mercury and glycerin method. The
correlation of mercury and glycerin methods is given in Appendix A for
information.
0.3 In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from
the following publications:
IS0 3690-1976 Welding - Determination of hydrogen in deposited weld
metal arising from the use of covered electrodes for welding mild and
low alloy steels. International Organization for Standardization.
BS 639 : 1976 Covered electrodes for the manual metal arc welding of
carbon and carbon manganese steels.
1.SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the procedures
IS:11802 - 1986
metal arc electrodes for welding mild and low alloy steels by mercury and
glycerin methods. For glycerin method, the values reported shall be in
terms of evaluation by mercury method using the formula given in
Appendix A. The glycerin method shall be used as a routine method. The
mercury method shall be used as a referee method in case of disputes, in
addition to being used as a routine method.
2. TERMINOLOGi
2.1 For the purpose of this standard, the definitions given in IS : 812 - 1957*
shall apply.
3. PRINCIPLES
OF MEASUREMENT
3.1 Mercury Method - The diffusible hydrogen content of the weld metal
sample is made to collect over mercury at room temperature for sufficient
time. The amount of hydrogen thus released is measured by volumetric
methods.
3.2 Glycerin Method - The diffusible hydrogen content is made to collect
over glycerin in a bath maintained at 45 C for sufficient time. The amount
of hydrogen thus evolved is measured volumetrically.
4. MATERIALS REQUIRED FOR TEST
4.1 Parent Plate Material - The test assembly shall be prepared from steel
conforming to IS : 226-19751 or IS : 2002-1982~ or IS : 2062-1984s or
equivalent material.
4.2 Electrodes - The electrodes to be tested shall be of 4.0 mm core wire
diameter, or of 3.15 mm diameter in case of iron powder electrodes having
more than 130% metal recovery.
4.2.1 The electrodes shall be dried before testing as per recommendations
of the manufacturer.
If no recommendation ii provided by the manufacturer, the electrodes shall be dried as per the schedule given below:

5.3.2 The test piece assembly shown in Fig. 3 consists of run-on and

centre portion shall have a length tolerance of & O-25 mm and shall be
weighed nearest to. IO mg before testing.

SPECIMEN ASSEMBLY
5.3.3 Welding - The temperature of the ji,0 shall be 30 .-t 10C before
testing. The welding current shall be 15 amperes less than the maximum
recommended by the manufacturer,
the Fachine setting being controlled to
within -& 5 amperes. The speed of welding shall be adjusted to an electrode consumption between 12 and 13 mm per IO mm of bead length. The
time spent on the deposition shall be noted.
5.3.4 A bead of 100 mm length shall be deposited along the centre-line
of each test assembly. No burning off of the tip of the electrode prior to
testing is allowed.
5.3.5 Three seconds after extinction of the arc, the jig shall be released
and the test piece assembly shall be quenched in iced water and subsequently
in alcohol or acetone saturated with carbon dioxide at a temperature
of - 50C or below. The sample pieces shall be broken apart while cold,
using brief intermittent periods of cooling; the intervals spent outside the
cooling bath in these operations shall not exceed IO seconds each. The
samples may now be stored at or below -WC for a period upfo 3 days
before analysis.

5.4 Test Procedure
5.4.1 Preparation of Sample for Analysis -When
transferring the sample
to gas burette, a shield of dry nitrogen shall be applied to avoid condensation of atmospheric humidity.
The sequence of operation and the time
spent in each shall be as follows:
The sample shall be washed in alcohol for a period of 3 to 5 seconds.
The sample shall be washed in pure ether for a period
5 seconds.
The sample shall be dried in a
a nozzle, particular attention
