The new NCPWB Welding Procedure Specification numbering system clearly defines the type of metals to be welded, the welding process used and allows for identification of variations in a process. This numbering system will be used on all Welding Procedure Specifications revised or developed in the future. The following describes the new numbering system:
Welding Procedure Specification Number Format
- X-Y-Z
- (for a P-number Base Metal Welded to Itself)
- X1:X2-Y-Z
- (for Two Different P-number Metals Welded to Each Other)
In This Numbering System
- X is the P-Number of the Base Metal (or Metals)
- Y is the Welding Process Number Based on the Table below:
- 1) SMAW using F-3 Electrodes (E6010, E7010-A1, E6011, etc.)
- 2) SMAW using other than F-3 Electrodes (E7018, E308-16, etc.)
- 3) GTAW without Consumable Insert
- 4) GTAW with Consumable Insert
- 5) GMAW-S (Short Circuiting Transfer Mode)
- 6) GMAW (Globular, Spray or Pulsed Transfer Mode)
- 7) FCAW (Fluxcored Wire Variation of GMAW)
- 8) SAW
- 9) OFW
- Z - Identifies a Variation on a Process - Please note that the Z values will be assigned in simple chronological sequence - identifying a variation of a process using the same base metals with no consistent meaning from procedure to procedure.

Examples
- WPS 1-12-1 (said as: WPS one dash twelve dash one) - This WPS would be Carbon Steel (P-1) to itself using an F-3 classification electrode followed by an electrode which is not an F-3 classification.
- WPS 4:1-42-2 (said as: WPS four to one dash forty-two dash two) - This WPS is for welding Cr-Mo Steels from P-Number 4 to Carbon Steel from P-Number 1 using GTAW with Consumable Insert followed by SMAW using an electrode which is not F-3.
Procedure Specifications For Pipe Welding/Brazing
The Procedure Specifications listed below are the results of research. They have been developed by members or through technical representatives of the members of NCPWB and the costs thereof have been defrayed through the dues and contributions of members of NCPWB. They are thus available to and for the use of NCPWB members only.
