NONMANDATORY APPENDIX BWELDING AND BRAZING FORMS

B-100 FORMS

This Nonmandatory Appendix illustrates sample for-mats for Welding and Brazing Procedure Specifications,Procedure Qualification Records, and Performance Quali-fication.

B-101 Welding

Form QW-482 is a suggested format for Welding Pro-cedure Specifications (WPS); Form QW-483 is a sug-gested format for Procedure Qualification Records(PQR). These forms are for the shielded metal-arc(SMAW), submerged-arc (SAW), gas metal-arc(GMAW), and gas tungsten-arc (GTAW) welding pro-cesses, or a combination of these processes.

Forms for other welding processes may follow thegeneral format of Forms QW-482 and QW-483, as appli-cable.

241

Form QW-484 is a suggested format for Welder/Weld-ing Operator/Performance Qualification (WPQ) forgroove or fillet welds.

Form QW-485 is a suggested format for Demonstrationof Standard Welding Procedure Specifications.

B-102 Brazing

Form QB-482 is a suggested format for Brazing Proce-dure Specifications (BPS); Form QB-483 is a suggestedformat for Procedure Qualifications Records (PQR).These forms are for torch brazing (TB), furnace brazing(FB), induction brazing (IB, resistance brazing (RB), anddip brazing (DB) processes.

Forms for other brazing processes may follow the gen-eral format of Forms QB-482 and QB-483, as applicable.

Form QB-484 is a suggested format for Brazer/BrazingOperator/Performance Qualification (BPQ).
