Pipeliner® 81M

Flux-Cored Gas-Shielded (FCAW-G)

CLASSIFICATIONS:
E81T1-GM
E81T1-M21A4-K11

Pipeliner® 81M from Lincoln Electric is designed for hot, fill and cap pass welding on up to X70 grade pipe.

DETAILS

A gas-shielded, flux-cored wire designed for hot, fill and cap pass welding on up to X70 grade pipe.

Features

  • Designed for optimal performance in automated pipe welding applications where a consistent arc length is critical
  • Fast freezing slag provides consistent puddle support all the way around the pipe
  • Capable of producing weld deposits with impact toughness exceeding 27J (20ftlbf) at -40C (-40F)
  • Q2 Lot® - Certificate showing actual deposit chemistry and mechanical properties per lot available online
  • ProTech® foil bag packaging

Typical Applications

  • Hot, fill and cap pass welding on up to X70 grade pipe
  • Fully automated pipe welding
  • Semi-automatic pipe welding
  • Meets requirements for NACE applications
