Dear lawrence:
Hi
I wanted to ask you a question:
can we use E6013 Electrode for vertical and ceiling welding in a 10 level steel structure?
Or we only have to use E7018?
I would be pleased if you help me

Sorry for the late response Raza
Honestly I can't possibly answer such a question with authority.
Most buildings that are 10 stories in height must meet structural codes set forth by state, counties or federal government. Of course if your not in the U.S. none of that applies.
In the last 30 years or so critical structures have been joined by low hydrogen electrodes (such as E7018). The E6013 electrodes are often used in non critical situations such as light farm equipment or for sheetmetal when minimum penetration is important. I would not ever suggest E6013 for a building.
Having said that. Your rod may be correct for attach points on a thin metal roof. But a qualified structural engineer who is in full knowledge of all variables and code requirements must make those decisions.
