Designed for Pipeline Welding
The Lincoln Pipeliner Arc 80 electrode is intended for demanding pipeline work where penetration, puddle control, and fast-freezing characteristics are important. Its cellulosic coating supports the characteristics sought by experienced pipeline welders, particularly when working in positions that require the weld puddle to freeze quickly.
Potential applications include:
- Oil and gas pipeline construction
- Cross-country pipeline projects
- Pipe welding and fabrication
- Field welding and maintenance
- Other applications permitted by the applicable welding procedure
The electrode’s suitability depends on the base material, joint design, welding position, service conditions, and qualified welding procedure. Always verify that the electrode classification and properties meet the job requirements.
Why Choose the 3/16-Inch Size?
The 3/16-inch diameter can be useful where the job calls for a larger electrode and a suitable deposition rate. It may be appropriate for certain fill passes and heavier pipe or plate applications.
However, electrode size should never be selected on deposition rate alone. Root passes, thinner materials, joint geometry, welding position, and the applicable welding procedure may call for a different diameter or current range.
Before selecting this size, confirm that your welding procedure covers the electrode diameter, polarity, position, and required mechanical properties.
Convenient 50 lb Easy-Open Packaging
The 50 lb easy-open can is intended for crews and shops that consume electrodes regularly. Bulk packaging helps keep supplies organized and reduces the need to handle multiple small packages during larger jobs.
For best results, store electrodes according to Lincoln Electric’s handling recommendations. Keep the can sealed until needed, protect it from moisture, and follow the product-specific instructions for storage and exposure after opening. Do not assume that this electrode follows the same rebaking requirements as low-hydrogen electrodes; use the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact classification.
