APPENDIX B NONMANDATORY WELDING AND BRAZING FORMS

B-100 FORMS
Form QW-484 is a suggested format for Welder / Welding Operator /Performance Qualication (WPQ) for groove or llet welds. Form QW-485 is a suggested format for Demonstration of Standard Welding Procedure Specications. B-102 B-101 Welding Form QW-482 is a suggested format for Welding Procedure Specications (WPS); Form QW-483 is a suggested format for Procedure Qualication Records (PQR). These forms are for the shielded metal-arc (SMAW), submerged-arc (SAW), gas metal-arc (GMAW), and gas tungsten-arc (GTAW) welding processes, or a combination of these processes. Forms for other welding processes may follow the general format of Forms QW-482 and QW-483, as applicable. Brazing

This Nonmandatory Appendix illustrates sample formats for Welding and Brazing Procedure Specications, Procedure Qualication Records, and Performance Qualication.

Form QB-482 is a suggested format for Brazing Procedure Specications (BPS); Form QB-483 is a suggested format for Procedure Qualications Records (PQR). These forms are for torch brazing (TB), furnace brazing (FB), induction brazing (IB, resistance brazing (RB), and dip brazing (DB) processes. Forms for other welding processes may follow the general format of Forms QW-482 and QW-483, as applicable. Form QB-484 is a suggested format for Brazer / Brazing Operator /Performance Qualication (BPQ).
