本规范规定了氧气焊接用碳素钢和低合金钢棒的分类要求。分类要求包括焊缝金属的机械性能。此外，还包括杆的化学成分、制造、尺寸、长度和包装的其他要求。本规范附有一份指南，作为所用分类系统和棒的预期用途的信息来源。本规范使用美国惯用单位和国际单位制（SI）。由于这些系统并不等同，因此每个系统必须独立使用。

This specification prescribes the requirements for classification of carbon and low-alloy steel rods for oxyfuel gas welding. The classification requirements include the mechanical properties of the weld metal. Additional requirements are included for chemical composition of the rod and for manufacture, sizes, lengths, and packaging. A guide is appended to the specification as a source of information concerning the classification system employed and the intended use of the rods.This specification makes use of both U.S. Customary Units and the International System of Units (SI). Since these are not equivalent, each system must be used independently of the other.
