    The document discusses the ASME P-Number and F-Number systems for classifying base metals and welding materials. [1] P-Numbers group base metals based on comparable characteristics like composition, weldability, and properties. [2] Engineering assessment is required before substituting materials from different P-Numbers to avoid failures. [3] F-Numbers similarly group welding electrodes and wires based on usability characteristics to reduce qualification requirements where reasonable.

    ASME P Number

    To reduce the number of welding and brazing procedure qualifications


    required base metals have been assigned P-Numbers by the ASME
    BPVC. Ferrous metals which have specified impact test requirements have
    been assigned Group Numbers within P-Numbers.

    These assignments have been based on comparable base metal


    characteristics, such as:

     Composition
     Weldability
     Brazeability
     Mechanical Properties
    Indiscriminant substitution of materials in a set of P-Numbers or Group
    Numbers may lead to problems or potentially failures. Engineering
    assessment is necessary prior to a change in materials.

    When a base metal with a UNS number Designation is assigned a P-Number,


    then a base metal listed in a different ASME material specification with the
    same UNS number shall be considered that P-Number.

    The table below is a guide and is for instructive purposes only. Anyone
    specifying materials or requirements should refer directly to the ASME Boiler
    and Pressure Vessel Code to specify materials.

    ASME F Number
    The F-number grouping of electrode and welding rod in QW-432 is based
    essentially on their usability characteristics, which fundamentally determine
    the ability of welders to make satisfactory welds with a given filler metal. This
    grouping is made to reduce the number of welding procedure and
    performance qualifications, where this can logically be done. The grouping
    does not imply that base metals or filler metals within a group may be
    indiscriminately substituted for a metal which was used in the qualification test
    without consideration of the compatibility of the base and filler metal from the
    standpoint of metallurgical properties, PWHT design and service
    requirements, and mechanical properties.
