I was posed a question yesterday to which I never had given much thought to before as we developed rod storage procedures that never required thinking about it.

Question: How long can a E7018H4R be exposed to the atmosphere when the temperature and %RH is above the 80°F and 80%RH that they were tested at by the electrode mfg?

Say you were working in Florida where those temps and %RH can exceed the 80°F and 80%RH frequently.

My short answer was to use Table 5.1 Column A, .......what say ye?
