To reduce the number of procedure qualifications required, base metals have been grouped into procedure groups with essentially comparable characteristics (“P” is for Procedure)
1
These groupings or assignments do not imply that base metals may be indiscriminately substituted without consideration of compatibility; sound engineering sense must govern
2
Specification essentially calls out the product form, the Type or Grade of that specification can dramatically change the P-number classification; so always include & reference both
Ex: SA-213 T2 = P-Num 3 & SA-213 T11 = P-Num 4 (SA213 = Seamless Tube) | SA-335 P1 = P-Num 3, SA-335 P11 = P-Num 4, & SA-335 P22 = P-Num 5A (SA-335 = Seamless Pipe) |

The F-Number groupings of electrodes and welding rods in the above table is based essentially on their usability characteristics, which
fundamentally determine the ability of welders to make satisfactory welds with a given filler metal.
T his approach to grouping is made to reduce the number of welding procedure and performance qualifications, where this can logically be done.
The grouping does not imply that base metals or filler metals within a group may be indiscriminately substituted for a metal that was used in the
qualification test without consideration of the compatibility of the base and filler metals from the standpoint of metallurgical properties, postweld
heat treatment design, service requirements, and mechanical properties.
2. “thru” signifies the inclusion of every F-number numerically between those specified; reference the F-number chart for details
3. Consult other essential variables such as backing when applying the range qualified values shown in this table
