What do the letters 'GS' mean in an ER70S-GS electrode?

  1. General Strength

  2. Global Standards

  3. General Standard

  4. Intended for single pass only

The correct answer is: Intended for single pass only

The letters 'GS' in an ER70S-GS electrode stand for Gas Shielded Single Pass. This means that the electrode is specifically designed and intended for single pass welding, and requires a gas shielding process to protect the weld from atmospheric contamination. Options A, B, and C are all incorrect as they do not accurately describe the purpose or use of the 'GS' letters in this specific electrode type.
