That specific product is a standard size for an Air Carbon Arc Gouging (CAC-A) Electrode manufactured by HERO TECH.

The specification you provided is:

Product Details and Usage

Purpose: Air Carbon Arc Gouging is a metal removal process used to back gouge welds, remove defects (like cracks or incomplete fusion), prepare plate edges, and cut/bore metal quickly.
Composition: HERO TECH gouging carbons are typically made from a mixture of specially formulated high-purity graphite and pure carbon.
Coating: They are finished with a superior copper coating to improve electrical conductivity, stabilize the arc, and help dissipate heat from the electrode.

The diameter of the carbon electrode directly determines the optimal amperage range for effective metal removal.

For a 6.4mm (1/4 inch) electrode used for manual gouging, the standard recommended operating range is:

Diameter	Recommended Current (DC Electrode Positive)
6.4 mm (1/4")	200 – 300 Amps (Typical manufacturers often cite $approx 275text{A}$ )
