Questions: Which of the following is an incorrect statement about running low-hydrogen electrodes? A. You should not use electrodes with missing fux. B. You should maintain a short arc. C. You should always whip the electrode. D. You should take only a few electrodes from the oven at a time.

The answer is C: You should always whip the electrode.

Explanation for each option: A. You should not use electrodes with missing flux. - Correct. Missing flux can lead to contamination and poor weld quality. B. You should maintain a short arc. - Correct. A short arc helps to minimize the exposure of the molten weld pool to the atmosphere, reducing the risk of hydrogen contamination. C. You should always whip the electrode. - Incorrect. Whipping the electrode is not a standard practice for low-hydrogen electrodes, as it can introduce defects and inconsistencies in the weld. D. You should take only a few electrodes from the oven at a time. - Correct. This practice helps to keep the electrodes dry and prevents moisture absorption, which is crucial for maintaining low hydrogen levels in the weld.
