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.
What else can I help you with?
When welding in a vertical position the arc length is longer then welding in a flat position?
Actually I usually crowd the puddle when welding vertical up. The longer the arc length the more the arc can wander.
What is the correct arc length for arc welding?
3/8 inch
What is the ideal length of arc in welding?
The ideal length of arc in welding typically ranges from 1/16 to 1/8 inch, depending on the welding process and material being used. A shorter arc length tends to produce a more concentrated heat, leading to deeper penetration, while a longer arc can create a wider bead but may result in a lack of penetration. Maintaining the proper arc length is crucial for achieving optimal weld quality and preventing defects. Adjustments may be necessary based on factors like electrode type and position.
What is arc temperature during arc welding?
5000 degrees F
How many lumens in a welding arc?
787
What is Arc length in welding?
Arc length is the distance from the tip of the electrode to the workpiece.

What does welding arc langth mean?
Arc length is the maximum length between the tip of an electrode and the work, measured along the tangents.
What is full form of ARC in arc welding?
The 'arc' in arc welding is not an acronym but in turn is a reference to the electric arc that is being generated during the welding process.
Why is it essential to use a lower current and a shorter arc length when welding in a horizontal position?
Flat, Horiz. and Overhead welding normally take the same amount of Amperage. The electrode angle would change.
What is arc diameter in welding?
Depend upon dia of electrode & Arc length between Electrode tip and job surface.
What is the difference between gas welding goggles and arc welding goggles?
If by gas welding you mean-oxyacetylene welding. The difference is just that arc welding requires a darker shade of lens. When oxyfuel gas welding (OFW) usually a shade 5 lens is recommended. When arc welding, a minimum of shade 10 lens should be used (actually shade should be determined by amount of current used).
Do you use a helmet or safety goggles when arc welding?
yes ' +++ You do NOT use "goggles" when arc-welding. You use a proper face-shield (mine is the auto-darkening type), and you should not expose any skin to the arc's intense UV radiation.
What is the full form of arc welding?
If you are asking for the correct nomenclature it is Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
What are the parameters used in shielded metal arc welding?
Arc length, current (amperage,) travel speed, work angle, travel angle.
