ASME BPQR - PQR Properties
PQR Information
PQR number: Enter the identification number to associate with this PQR. This number will be displayed on all pages of the PQR document.
Test date: The date of the test may be manually entered or selected from the calendar.
System of units: Select either English or metric units.
BPS number: A BPS number is not required on the PQR. When the BPS field is left blank and a BPS is printed with supporting BPQRs, the BPS numbers are automatically inserted into the space provided on the BPQR. A BPS number may be entered if it is required by the inspection agency or company standards. Once the BPS number is entered, only that BPS Number will be printed on the BPQR
Code year: Select the Edition/Addenda of the ASME Section IX Code used in the test.
"Weld" Type: For a BPQR, the weld type will be locked to Braze.
Include notes: One or more pages of notes can be added to allow for the inclusion of additional information with the BPQR. These pages will print just before the test results and will be numbered as part of the permanent document.
Use code assistance: Clear this box to disable code assistance for this PQR. Once code asssitance is turned off, it cannot be turned back on for the current PQR. Only a non-Code assisted WPS or BPS can be created from a PQR that has code assistance disabled.
Process Information
Process: The Brazing Processes consist of Torch Brazing, Furnace Brazing, Induction Brazing, Resistance Brazing, and Dip Brazing. Select the process for the BPQR and whether the method used was manual, semiautomatic, machine, or automatic.
