7.2 Test specimens
The shape and dimensions of test specimens shall be in accordance with EN 12797, EN 12799, an
application standard or technically equivalent standards. For other test specimens where the shape
and dimensions are not specified, they shall be agreed by the contracting parties.

7.3 Non-destructive testing

The extent of non-destructive testing shall be in accordance with 7.1 and Table 1 and be carried out on
the test pieces prior to cutting of the test specimens. Visual testing shall be performed in accordance
with EN 12799 or technically equivalent standards. Radiographic testing, where specified, shall also be
carried out in accordance with EN 12799 or technically equivalent standards.

7.4 Destructive testing

7.4.1 General

The extent of destructive testing shall be in accordance with 7.1 and Table 1.

7.4.2 Bend testing

The testing and test specimens shall be in accordance with EN 12797 or technically equivalent
standards and Table 1.

EST05-2604 ON 18-02-2022
One first surface bend test specimen and one second surface bend test specimens shall be tested. The
first surface is defined as the surface from which the filler metal is applied. The second surface is

SINGLE USER LICENSE ONLY. SUPPLIED BY BSB EDGE UNDER LICENCE FROM ISO FOR CHITTARANJAN LOCOMOTIVE WORKS - DIST. BARDDHAMAN VIDE BSB EDGE ORDER NO.
7.4.5 Transverse tensile testing

The test specimens shall be in accordance with one of the types defined in EN 12797 or technically
equivalent standards. The details of testing procedure and test specimen shall be established before
any testing is undertaken. The tensile strength shall not be less than the specified minimum tensile
strength of the weaker parent material in the annealed condition or, 95 % thereof if the test specimen
fractures in the parent material.

7.5 Acceptance levels

Unless otherwise specified, the acceptance requirements for imperfections found by all test methods in
accordance with this document shall be assessed in accordance with ISO 18279:2003.
A brazing procedure is qualified if the imperfections in the test piece are within quality level B in
ISO 18279:2003 except for excess braze metal (6BAAA) where quality level C applies and no imperfection
pass through the joint length.

7.6 Re-testing
If the test piece fails to comply with any of the requirements for visual testing or NDT specified in 7.5,
one further test piece shall be brazed and subjected to the same testing. If this additional test piece
does not comply with the requirements, the brazing procedure test has failed.
If any test specimens fail to comply with the requirements for destructive testing in accordance with
7.4 but only due to braze imperfections, two further test specimens shall be tested for each one that

EST05-2604 ON 18-02-2022
failed. The additional test specimens can be taken from the same test piece if there is sufficient material
or from a new test piece. Each additional test specimen shall be subjected to the same tests as the
initial test specimen that failed. If either of the additional test specimens does not comply with the
requirements, the brazing procedure test has failed.

8 Essential variables and range of qualification

8.1 General
Each of the conditions given in Clause 8 shall be met in order to comply with this document.
Changes outside of the ranges specified shall require a new brazing procedure test.

8.2 Brazing process

Each qualification test qualifies only one brazing process (see Clause 1). A change of brazing process
requires a new qualification test.
For processes where global heating is applied (process 92 in accordance with ISO 4063:2009), a change
in brazing temperature shall not exceed outside the range specified in the BPS.
When applicable, the furnace atmosphere is limited to the same type of atmosphere, e.g. reducing or
inert, carburizing or decarburizing, and hydrogen or disassociated ammonia.
For brazing processes where fuel gases apply, the qualification is limited to the same type of fuel gas
and flame.

8.3 Product type

The brazing of one product type qualifies for other product types in accordance with Table 2.

8.6 Parent material group(s)

EST05-2604 ON 18-02-2022
In order to minimize the number of brazing procedure qualification tests, parent materials are assigned
to M-number groupings (see Annex E).
The parent material used in the brazing procedure qualification test qualifies the brazing procedure for
brazing of all other parent materials within the same M-number grouping (see Table 4).
Parent materials that do not appear in Annex E, require separate qualification and only qualify that
material.

Qualification testing using two different M-number groupings in a single test piece also qualifies, using
the same brazing filler metal, flux, atmosphere, and process, for combinations of materials from:
— each M-number material groupings to material in the other grouping;
— one M-number material groupings to others in the same grouping.

8.7 Filler metals, flux and brazing filler application

The brazing filler metal type shall be classified in accordance with ISO 17672, or other standards that
provide equivalent technical conditions. Each class in accordance with ISO 17672 qualifies other filler
metal types within the same class. One filler metal form (for example, from preformed ring to paste)
only qualifies for the same form.
A test with a flux classified in accordance with ISO 18496, or other standards that provide equivalent
technical conditions, only qualifies for brazing within that same classification.
The brazing filler metal application qualifies for other filler metal application in accordance with
Table 5.

NOTE "Face fed" is also known as "applied to the mouth of the joint", which
can be manually or mechanically fed.

8.8 Dimensions
Ranges of qualification for parent material thickness are given by Table 6. For dissimilar parent material
thicknesses, the range of qualification based on each part separately and given by Table 6.
For lap joints, the overlap used on the test piece is the minimum overlap qualified.
The joint gap shall not deviate from the interval recommended by the filler metal manufacturer.

NOTE Diameter is not considered as an essential variable.

8.9 Filler metal flow direction

Ranges of qualification for the filler metal flow direction are given by Table 7. Any other flow direction
shall be qualified separately. For procedure qualification, an angular deviation of maximum ±15° from
filler metal flow positions applies.

8.10 Post braze heat treatment

Addition or deletion of post-braze heat-treatment requires requalification of the BPS.

8.11 Related to the manufacturer

A qualification of a pBPS in accordance with this document obtained by a manufacturer is valid for

EST05-2604 ON 18-02-2022
brazing in workshops or sites under the same technical and quality control of the manufacturer.
Brazing is under the same technical and quality control when the manufacturer who performed the
brazing procedure qualification retains complete responsibility for all brazing carried out to it.

9 Brazing procedure qualification record (BPQR)

The brazing procedure qualification record (BPQR) is a statement of the results of assessing each test
piece including re-tests. The relevant items listed for the BPS shall be included, together with details of
any features that would be rejectable based on the requirements of Clause 7. If no rejectable features
or unacceptable test results are found, a BPQR detailing the brazing procedure test piece results is
qualified and shall be signed and dated by the examiner or the examining body.
A BPQR format shall be used to record details for the brazing procedure and the test results, in order to
facilitate uniform presentation and assessment of the data.
An example of BPQR format is shown in Annex D.

10 Brazing procedure specification (BPS)

A brazing procedure specification (BPS) shall provide all necessary information required to make a
braze joint. The brazing procedure specification shall be designed as an instruction for the brazer or
brazing operator to apply. Therefore, the tolerances given for each essential variable may not be the full
ranges of qualification given in the BPQR. However, it is practical that tolerances are given in relevant
cases, e.g. for gap or overlap length.
A brazing procedure specification is considered preliminary (pBPS) until it is qualified documented by
a BPQR.
When applicable, the brazing procedure specification (BPS or pBPS) shall contain, at least, the following
information (including applicable tolerances for variables):
— identification of the manufacturer;
— identification of the BPS;

Material grouping system

E.1 Material grouping numbers

Parent metals have been grouped by metal number (M No.) so that the required number of qualifications
can be reduced. Substitution of one parent material for another, for any purpose other than for
qualification, even when within the allowable rules, should be made only after an evaluation of all the
factors involved, for example:
— consideration of the compatibility from the standpoint of metallurgical properties;
— post-weld heat treatment;
— design;
— mechanical properties;
— service requirements.

EST05-2604 ON 18-02-2022
E.2 Basis for classification of parent materials for brazing qualification
E.2.1 General
The required tensile strength when performing tension tests shall be the annealed strength of the
parent material. Where the tensile strength is given in a specification, the strength shall be that of the
thickest parent material up to 25 mm.
Where classification is dependent on the amount of a given element, the controlling value is the
maximum content given in the parent material specification.
The parent metal (M) numbers for ferrous alloys are listed below:

E.2.2 Ferrous alloys

100 Steels containing ≤1 % (by mass) chromium

110 Steels containing >1 % (by mass) chromium

NOTE Steels with ≥12 % (by mass) chromium are included in stainless steels.

120 Steels containing aluminium or titanium

130 Stainless steels, austenitic

140 Stainless steels, austenitic containing titanium <0,3 % (by mass)

150 Stainless steels, martensitic, and ferritic

160 Stainless steels, martensitic, and ferritic containing <0,3 % (by mass) combined aluminium and
titanium
