[MW:3244] Re: Shelf life of Low hydrogen electrodes

Hello Ravindra,

ASME Section II C says the below;

"6.2 The shelf-life requirement shall be a minimum of
six (6) months from date of manufacture when stored
in its original unopened container. Alternate minimum
storage periods shall be as agreed upon between the supplier
and purchaser."

Please check with supplier for further details

Thanks
Senthil
