    The ASME BPVC assigns P-Numbers to base metals to reduce the number of welding and brazing procedure qualifications required. P-Numbers group metals with comparable characteristics such as composition, weldability, brazeability, and mechanical properties. Indiscriminant substitution between P-Numbers may lead to problems or failures, so engineering assessment is necessary for changes. The document provides an incomplete summary of P-Numbers and typical base metals as an instructional guide, directing the reader to refer to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for official specifications and requirements.

    ASME P-Numbers

    ASME P-Numbers
    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, P-Numbers, procedures, or other requirements and not rely on the table below. The table below is only a rather
    INCOMPLETE and APPROXIMATE summary of ASME data for INSTRUCTIONAL USE ONLY. See ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for materials
    specifications and P-Numbers.
