This document provides a guide to ASME material designations and their equivalents according to EN288 standards. It lists the P numbers used in ASME specifications along with their base metal composition and EN288 group. Additionally, it defines ASME designations for welding processes, consumables, and welding positions to clarify how they differ from ISO/EN standards.

ASME P Material Numbers
This is a general guide ASME P numbers and their equivalent EN288 groupings. Groups referred to in the Base Metal column are ASME sub groups. EN288 material groups are included for comparison only.

ASME Definitions, Consumables, Welding Positions ASME P Material Numbers Explained
ASME has adopted their own designation for welding processes, which are very different from the ISO definitions adopted by EN24063.
Designation Description OFW Oxyfuel Gas Welding SMAW Shielded Metal Arc Welding (MMA) SAW Submerged Arc Welding GMAW Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG/MAG) FCAW Flux Cored Wire GTAW Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG) PAW Plasma Arc Welding
Straight polarity = Electrode -ve
Reverse polarity = Electrode +ve
ASME F Numbers
F General Description Number 1 Heavy rutile coated iron powder electrodes :- A5.1 : E7024 2 Most Rutile consumables such as :- A5.1 : E6013 3 Cellulosic electrodes such as :- A5.1 : E6011 4 Basic coated electrodes such as : A5.1 : E7016 and E7018 5 High alloy austenitic stainless steel and duplex :- A5.4 : E316L-16 6 Any steel solid or cored wire (with flux or metal) 2X Aluminium and its alloys 3X Copper and its alloys 4X Nickel alloys 5X Titanium 6X Zirconium 7X Hard Facing Overlay Note:- X represents any number 0 to 9
ASME A Numbers These refer to the chemical analysis of the deposited weld and not the parent material. They only apply to welding procedures in steel materials.
A1 Plain unalloyed carbon manganese steels.
A2 to A4 Low alloy steels containing Moly and Chrome Moly A8 Austenitic stainless steels such as type 316.
ASME Welding Positions Graphic Representation
Note the welding progression, (vertically upwards or downwards), must always be stated and it is an essential variable for both procedures and performance qualifications.
For each of these inclinations the weld can be rotated from the flat position to Horizontal to overhead. Brief Introduction Procedure Qualification Record (PQR) Welding Performance Qualification (WPQ) ASME definitions for welding processes, consumables and welding positions
