Where each value comes from

The values above are stated away from the sentence quoted with the answer, so the passage it comes from is shown here too.

ESAB-recommended SAW (submerged arc) filler, ESAB-recommended FCAW (gas-shielded flux-cored) filler and ESAB-recommended MCAW (metal-cored) filler

The source prints these values inside the passage below but does not name them there. The passage shows where each one appears; what ties them to this record is the position on the page, not anything the passage says.
