Hi
Your grouping is ok. Further Refer ASME IX - QW440/QW442 for weld metal deposite i e A No. This will help you to ASME specification i e SFA Number selection refer QW432 ( Example if material is carbon steel Refer chapter SFA5.1 Table 7 in ASME II part C matching chemical composition of feller metal)

ASME P-Numbers
To reduce the number of welding and brazing procedure qualifications required base metals have been assigned P-Numbers by the ASME BPVC. Ferrous metals which have specified impact test requirements have been assigned Group Numbers within P-Numbers.
These assignments have been based on comparable base metal characteristics, such as:
- Composition
- Weldability
- Brazeabilit
- Mechanical Properties
Indiscriminant substitution of materials in a set of P-Numbers or Group Numbers may lead to problems or potentially failures. Engineering assessment is necessary prior to a change in materials.
When a base metal with a UNS number Designation is assigned a P-Number, then a base metal listed in a different ASME material specification with the same UNS number shall be considered that P-Number.
The table below is a guide and is for instructive purposes only. Anyone specifying materials or requirements should refer directly to the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code to specify materials, P-Numbers, procedures, or other requirements and not rely on the table below. The table below is only a rather incomplete and approximate summary of ASME data.
