The groups are termed "P” or "P Numbers.” The grouping is not intended to imply that base materials within & P Grouping may be indiscriminately substituted for the base material used in the qualification test without considering metallurgical properties, postweld heat treatment, mechanical properties, and other aspects that may affect the service life. Some division exists, as well, within the P Groupings producing sub- groupings of materials with similar properties, Also, electrodes or filler metals are grouped together, again, to reduce the number of procedure qualifications. This grouping is based on usability characteristics, which determine the ability of welders to make satistactory welds with a given filler metal. The grouping is termed the "F Number.” Grouping of filler metals and electrodes is not intended to imply that filler metals or base metals within specific groupings may be substituted for those used in the qualification testing without consideration of the properties of the finished product. Finally, weld metal ss classified as to the type of deposit made. This classification is termed the “A Number" and itindicates a general chemical composition for as-deposited weld metal. Deviation from the general ‘composition is permitied, provided the physical properties are acceptable and the chemical composition is outlined in the procedure qualification.
