Additional Notes
**When base metal temperature is below 32° F, the base metal shall be heated to a minimum of 70° F and shall be maintained as the
minimum interpass temperature during welding.
**Welding shall not be done when ambient temperature in the weld area is lower than 0° F
**When welding ASTM A913-50, 60, 65 to itself with H8 FCAW electrodes on the min. is 32°F for ≥ 1/8 and greater thicknesses
