In ASME codes, what is used to identify weld metal composition?

  1. F numbers

  2. A numbers

  3. P numbers

  4. S numbers

The correct answer is: A numbers

In ASME codes, A numbers are used to identify the weld metal composition. This is based on the chemical composition of the weld metal, including elements such as carbon, manganese, and nickel. F numbers refer to the filler metal group for a specific welding process, P numbers refer to the base metal group being welded, and S numbers are used to identify welding consumables such as flux and electrodes. Therefore, A numbers are the most appropriate choice for identifying weld metal composition in ASME codes.
