Key Features
- Comprehensive 7-Blade Set: Covers full fillet weld sizing from 1/8" (3.2 mm) up to 1" (25.4 mm) for versatile joint evaluation.
- Dual Parameter Verification: Features precision-contoured edges to check both fillet weld leg lengths and convex/concave throat dimensions.
- Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel: Forged from high-grade, rust-resistant stainless steel for long-lasting durability in demanding field conditions.
- Compact Pivoting Mechanism: Securely bound with a central pivot screw, allowing quick blade selection, easy pocket storage, and fast deployment.
Usage Instructions
- Ensure the weld area is clean and thoroughly free from dirt, slag, and weld spatter.
- Select the blade leaf from the set corresponding to the specified weld size on the engineering drawings.
- Place the straight, angled edges of the gauge firmly against the base materials to verify the fillet leg length.
- Flip the blade to use the contoured protrusion side to check the theoretical throat thickness.
- Compare the resulting fit against specified acceptance criteria and record the inspection results.
Applications
- Shipbuilding & Marine Fabrication: Verifying fillet weld dimensions on critical ship structures, hulls, and bulkheads.
- Pressure Vessel & Boiler Manufacturing: Ensuring structural joint integrity and code compliance in boiler drums and vessel seams.
- Construction & Civil Engineering: Inspecting structural steel welds on bridge girders, high-rise buildings, and framework assemblies.
- Pipeline Fabrication: Confirming compliance with international welding codes across oil, gas, and utility piping joints.
