Key Features
- All-in-One Inspection Tool: Provides a versatile single-gauge solution to measure fillet leg lengths, crown reinforcement, undercuts, and preparation angles.
- Integrated Magnifier: Built-in magnifying window enhances visibility of fine scale markings, reducing eye strain and inspection errors.
- High-Precision Etched Scales: Laser-etched dual metric and imperial graduations resist wear and provide high-contrast readability.
- Polished Stainless Steel Build: Premium rust-resistant stainless steel construction ensures high structural rigidity and extended service life.
- High Measurement Precision: Delivers tight 0.01 accuracy for critical quality-assurance checks.
Usage Instructions
- Zeroing: Place the base on a known flat reference surface and ensure the pointer aligns accurately with the zero mark.
- Fillet Leg Length: Rest the flat base against the plate member and slide the pointer tip until it contacts the weld toe.
- Weld Reinforcement: Position the base spanning across the weld joint and lower the pointer tip directly onto the weld crown.
- Undercut Depth: Carefully insert the fine pointer tip into the groove at the edge of the weld toe to read defect depth.
- Preparation Bevel Angle: Align the gauge’s sloped edge directly against the beveled plate edge to check joint angle.
Applications
- Code Compliance & Quality Control: Verifying structural fillet and butt welds to meet AWS, ASME, and ISO welding standards.
- Pre-Weld Joint Preparation: Checking bevel preparation angles, fit-up alignment, and root openings prior to welding.
- Structural Steel Inspection: Inspecting heavy-duty welds on bridges, high-rise buildings, and industrial frameworks.
- Maintenance & Asset Assessment: Evaluating pitting depth, surface corrosion, and weld wear on operational equipment and pressure vessels.
