It varies from 3 inches to 13 inches. The electrode type, type of weld, and position of weld all determine how far you can get done with a single rod

Three condition of electrode that could affect weld bead shape in sheilded metal arc welding?
The angle of the electrode, the speed of the electrode used to weld and the size of the electrode.
What characteristics of the weld bead does the weaving of the electrode cause?
motion of the electrode causes different pattterns in th formation ofthe cooling weld puddle. You can alter the weld patter by changing the electrode motion,,ex: motion straight across the weld zone and dropping electrode position say (1/8th inch) produces given pattern..same pattern with a slight upward motion at edges of weld zone another pattern...etc etc
How do you weld 6010?
6010 is a high cellulose sodium based electrode, which can be used to weld carbon steel pipes.
What welding parameters to consider to produce quality weld?
There are 4 basics to producing a good weld bead. Correct #1 Amperage #2 Electrode Angle #3 Arc Length #4 Travel Speed Factor in electrode manipulation in some cases.
What is excess weaving in welding?
excessive We were taught 2-1/2 times the width of the electrode was maximum. ie: 5/16" width weld bead for 1/8" electrode.
Three condition of electrode that could affect weld bead shape in sheilded metal arc welding?
The angle of the electrode, the speed of the electrode used to weld and the size of the electrode.
How many electrodes are used per inch of weld?
depending on: the type of electrode, and gap between material, and material thickness, and whether or not the groove is beveled... roughly 1 electrode per 8 inches for a cover pass, and 1 electrode per 16 inches for a root pass
What is a leading electrode angle for in welding?

What type of electrode can you weld cast iron with?
nickel
If electrode use in welding has moisture what effect will it have on the weld?
Electrodes with too much moisture may lead to cracking or porosity.
Which electrode is using for cs and ss combination weld?
309l
What is a straight weld bead on the surface of a plate with little or no side to side electrode movement called?
A narrow, straight weld bead that is created by moving the SMAW electrode straight along the weld joint. A quality stringer bead should have good tie-in on both sides of the weld.
How do you weld 6010?
6010 is a high cellulose sodium based electrode, which can be used to weld carbon steel pipes.
Do you tig weld on dc straight or reverse polarity?
Tig is always done in straight polarity, i.e. electrode negative. reason: almost 2/3rd of the heat is generated in positive terminal of weld, in this case the base metal and the rest in the negative terminal, in this case the tungsten electrode. Also you don't want to deposit the tungsten electrode in the weld, do you?
What is the effect on the weld if the electrode is held too close to the material being weld?
the rod will simply stick to the material being welded!
Weld backing is used with a process that uses a separate flux and electrode to?
dfh
