Glad to see I'm not the only one that enjoys breaking someone else's "nads", but let's not step on someone's toes too hard.
Everyone has feelings you know. I was thinking he might be from Asia!
All kidding aside, it is meant to be in good humor, this is not an unusual question. Many people given the task of ordering welding materials, or using welding consumables, do not know how to order them and get all the supporting documentation required for their particular project. That is why I included a reference to AWS 5.01 in my response.
This problem is so prevalent that when I am performing an audit I ask for a copy of the purchase orders issued for ordering filler metals to see what information is provided to the suppliers. Many purchase orders do not include basic information that would ensure the supplier knows exactly what is required. As an example, one PO I saw simply stated the company needed 1000 pounds of 1/8 inch diameter Lo-Hi electrode. No specification listed, no brand (if there was a preference) no AWS/ASME classification, no packaging/container size, etc. It kept the PO short and concise, but it also left some important questions unaddressed.
