The number 16 in the e-308-16 electrode designation refers to the diameter of the electrode in 1/16-inch increments. In this case, it indicates that the electrode has a diameter of 1/16 inch, which is approximately 1.6 millimeters. This specification helps identify the size and suitability of the electrode for specific welding applications.
AWS = American Welding Society -- E = Electrode -- 60 = 60,000 lbs tensile strength -- 1 = all position -- 12 (1 and 2 combined ) = DC Reverse Polarity

The "e" in "electrode" stands for "electric," as the term relates to the conduction of electricity. An electrode is a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves an electrochemical cell or system. It plays a crucial role in facilitating the flow of electric current during electrochemical reactions.
In the designation E-308-16 for an electrode, the number 16 refers to the tensile strength of the weld metal produced by the electrode, measured in ksi (thousands of pounds per square inch). Specifically, it indicates a minimum tensile strength of 70 ksi (about 483 MPa). The "308" part indicates the chemical composition of the electrode, which is suitable for welding austenitic stainless steels, primarily those with a composition similar to 18% chromium and 8% nickel.
It stands for electrode. As opposed to R ( rod) for gas welding or TIG welding. If it carries electrical current it is an electrode.
The platinum electrode is commonly chosen as a reference electrode for measuring standard cell potential. This is because platinum is inert, has excellent conductivity, and does not participate in redox reactions, making it a stable reference point. In electrochemistry, the standard hydrogen electrode (SHE), which uses a platinum surface, is often used as the universal reference electrode.
Direct current electrode negative
E - Stands for Electrode 60 - 60,000 tensile strength. 1 - in all position welding can be done 0 - cellulose
E(SCE)-E(H)=241 mV @25°C SHE is a primary standard electrode bt SCE is secondary reference electrode use for more easier work than SHE & SCE,s potential also measured by taking SHE as reference electrode.
Direct current electrode positive
A rule of thumb is - the arc length should be the same as the diameter of the electrode. 3/32" electrode = 3/32" arc length. 1/8" electrode = 1/8" arc length etc. The thicker the electrode coating the shorter the distance from the end of the electrode to the work. Drag rods are contact rods. E-7024 is one.
