other ASME Code section that this number is used.

The P number in welding assigned to the material by ASME Code

Section IX to reduces the number of welding procedure
qualification. Why we do want to reduce the numbers of PQR’?
because this part is expensive part, for each PQR you need to
produce a test sample and sent to metallurgical lab for mechanical
testing (two tension tests, two root bend tests and two face bend
tests).

P number assigned by ASME Code Section IX to the materials

based their similarity and characteristic such as chemical
compositions, weldability and mechanical property. That why you
do not see any material identification in the Welding Procedure
Specification. What you see is the assigned P number. So your WPS
can be used for group of material and not a single material.

This P number assignment reduces the number of PQR remarkably.

You need one PQR for a single P number which this P number
might include more than 20 or more specific materials (when
impact testing is not required by construction code such as ASME
Code Section VIII).

P number in Welding Application 

The assigned P Numbers to the materials addressed in the table
QW-422. In addition, you can find minimum specified tensile
strength, group number, UNS number, ISO 15608 Group number,
nominal composition and product form.

P number is essential variable for most welding process. Similarly

it is an essential variable for welding performance qualification.

The welding is not the only application of this P number

assignment. This number also is used in construction code for
determining Post Weld Heat Treatment degree and duration (UCS-
