hello. i was just wondering what degree you can move your test plate in a overhead position for stick test. i was told that you can move it 10 degrees up hill for the test, is this right? if not, how much?

------------------------------------------------

It is completely up the the test shop inspector.

AWS codes provide some tolerance but some test shop supervisors wont let you move it at all.
