Joint Type and Base Material Information

Types of joints qualified: Lists the type of brazes the brazer is qualified to perform based on ASME Section IX. A common value would be "Lap joint" or "Butt joint".

ASME rated metal: Select this box if the material has been rated by the ASME.

Base metals brazed: Enter the base material used in the test. This is the metal or alloy that is welded, brazed, or cut. Selecting a material as the "Base Metal 1" will select that material for "Base Metal 2" as well. However, another material may then be selected or entered independently for either field. The material with the lowest P- or S-Number should be entered first, as should an unrated metal.

Brazing Variables

P- or S- Number: Enter the appropriate designation for the base material. This field will be automatically completed if the material is selected from the Material Browser. S-Number does not exist in the Code after 2008, so if 2009 or later is selected as the "Code year," this field will only allow P-Number.

Diameter: If Pipe was selected as the "Product Form" , enter the diameter of the pipe in this field. If a pipe is selected from the Pipe/Tube Browser, the diameter will be automatically inserted.

Base material thickness: Enter the base material thickness used for the test.
