The Paprsky CityWeld Automatic Inspector Gauge is a precision-built stainless steel instrument designed for the accurate measurement and quality inspection of butt and fillet-type welds. Engineered for welding inspectors, fabricators, and quality control personnel, it features a smooth-sliding pointer operated by a thumbscrew mechanism to verify critical weld dimensions including fillet weld leg length, maximum concavity, maximum convexity, and butt weld reinforcement height. Manufactured from durable stainless steel, this versatile inspection gauge ensures structural welds comply with strict engineering codes, fabrication standards, and dimensional tolerances.
Paprsky delivers precision welding inspection tools engineered for accuracy, durability, and standard compliance. The CityWeld Automatic Inspector Gauge provides rapid, dependable dimensional verification—empowering fabrication teams and inspectors to guarantee structural integrity on every weld.

Key Features
- Comprehensive Weld Inspection: Enables precise evaluation of multiple weld parameters including fillet leg length, concavity, convexity, and butt weld reinforcement with a single instrument.
- Durable Stainless Steel Construction: High-grade stainless steel body offers excellent corrosion resistance, structural rigidity, and resistance to wear in heavy shop-floor and field environments.
- Precision Thumbscrew Adjustment: Features an easy-to-slide pointer secured by a knurled thumbscrew for fast alignment, positive locking, and direct measurement reading.
- Clear Measurement Graduations: Clean, etched metric scales provide high-contrast visibility to minimize inspection errors and ensure repeatable readings.
- Underfill & Defect Identification: Quickly identifies weld profile defects such as excessive convexity, underfill, and improper leg sizes to maintain quality compliance.
Usage Instructions
- Place the gauge base firmly against the joint surface and slide the pointer to the opposite weld toe to read the fillet leg length.
- Move the pointer across the weld throat and compare the reading against the MAX CONVEXITY limits.
- Check for underfill by observing if the pointer fails to contact the weld face within specified tolerances.
- Position the gauge base firmly over the butt weld joint for reinforcement checking.
- Slide the pointer down to the weld crown/peak to measure the butt weld reinforcement height directly.
Applications
- Quality Inspection: Confirms finished fillet and butt welds meet specified engineering dimensions and drawings.
- Code Compliance: Ensures structural, boiler, pipe, and pressure vessel welds conform to rigorous international welding standards.
- Welder Technique & Feedback: Provides objective, measurable data for training programs, welder qualification, and technique improvement.
- Cost Control & Rework Reduction: Minimizes material waste and costly rework by verifying joint fit-up and weld sizes before and after welding.
