ASME BPQ - Process
- Mike Hartnett
This section will appear as 2 sections typically. One for Actual Values and one for Range Qualified.
Brazing Variables
Overlap length: The length of overlap of the two elements being joined.
Joint clearance: The clearance for the joint being brazed.
AWS classified filler metal: Select this box to indicate that the material used has been classified by AWS.
Filler metal classification: This is an informational field; it is not required and has no standard corresponding range qualified. A value may be entered to restrict a welder to a specific range. Selecting a filler metal from the Filler Metal Browser will automatically complete this field and the "Filler metal F number" field.
Filler metal specification: Enter the filler metal used for the weld test.
Filler metal F number: Enter the F-Number of this filler metal. This field will be automatically completed if a filler metal is selected from the Filler Metal Browser.
Filler metal trade name: Enter any trade name for the filler metal used.
Filler metal product form: Enter the product form for the filler metal, for example "Preplaced strip".
Flow position: Enter the position of flow for the braze, for example "Flat-flow". The flow position will often determine applicability of flow direction.
Flow direction: Enter the direction of the flow of the braze, for example "Upflow" or "Downflow". Ranges will vary so "upflow" may qualify for either.
