German term or phrase: Schweißpositionen: PA, BP, PF, PG, PC, PE (w, h, s, f, q, ü)
It's a text on welding specifications. What do the abbreviations mean?

Here is some context:

Unleg. Baustähle St 33, St 37-2 bis St 52-3,
St 50 *, St 60 *
Kesselbleche H I, H II, 17 Mn 4, 19 Mn 5*
Rohrstähle St 37.0 bis St 52.0
St 37.4 bis St 52.4
St 35.8, St 45.8

The abbreviations appear to be drawing location reference points
Explanation:
Is there a manufacturing or assembly drawing or blueprint associated with the text?
I suspect a drawing will show the locations "PA, BP, PF, PG, PC, PE (w, h, s, f, q, ü)"
of the "Unalloyed structural steels", "Boiler quality plate", "Tubular steel", "Fine-grain structural steel", and "Shipbuilding quality steel" components are to be welded.
