Had me wondering too Al, found this. http://buy.ecplaza.net/search/1s1nf20sell/fittings_a234_wpb.html Second box down, highlighted in red, doesn't answer our question though, so I'm guessing, "Welded Pipe Butts"???????????

(BS EN 440 ) ER70S-2 - Less deoxidizers and stiffer weld pool. Better for positional work, seem to be the most popular here. I could not find the cross from AWS standards. Here is a murex list of wire types.
