The Paprsky Half Moon Welding Seam Gauge is an ultra-compact, precision-engineered inspection instrument developed specifically for quality inspectors, fabricators, and professional welders requiring fast, dependable measurements in space-restricted environments. Featuring a distinctive crescent profile, this ergonomic tool delivers exceptional maneuverability and clear line-of-sight when checking weld reinforcement profiles, seam heights, curve radii, and fillet weld dimensions. Fabricated from high-grade stainless steel with high-contrast dual-sided markings, it resists corrosion, shop-floor wear, and deformation, ensuring structural assemblies and fabricated components consistently meet stringent engineering standards.
Paprsky manufactures industrial-grade inspection and measurement tools engineered to optimize quality control and field productivity. The Half Moon Welding Seam Gauge provides fabricators and QA personnel with an agile, dependable, pocket-sized solution to quickly verify weld profiles and ensure uncompromised joint integrity.

Key Features
- Ergonomic Half-Moon Geometry: Streamlined crescent design enables effortless access to confined joints, tight internal corners, and obstructed weldments where standard bulky gauges cannot fit.
- Dual-Sided Precision Markings: Features clearly delineated incremental front scales (1 to 5) and rapid-reference back markings (5, 10, 15) for quick dimensional cross-referencing.
- Multi-Parameter Inspection: Seamlessly evaluates seam reinforcement heights, curve profiles, and fillet weld dimensions with a single handheld template.
- Enhanced Visual Clarity: High-contrast etched markings ensure fast, unambiguous readings under shop and site lighting conditions to streamline quality assurance workflows.
Usage Instructions
- Identify the specific inspection parameter to be evaluated (surface curve radius, seam reinforcement height, or fillet weld profile).
- Seat the reference edge of the gauge firmly and flush against the parent metal adjacent to the joint.
- Slide and align the contoured measuring profile against the weld toe or surface curve to ensure complete, gap-free contact.
- Read the corresponding measurement value directly from the precision scale markings aligned with the apex or profile boundary.
- Verify the measurement against project drawings and WPS specifications, and record the inspected value in the QA/QC log.
Applications
- Metal Fabrication & Manufacturing: Conducting in-process dimensional verification and verifying finished weld seam profiles against production drawings.
- Structural Steel & Construction: Inspecting structural joints, beams, and columns to ensure code compliance and load-bearing integrity.
- Automotive & Component Engineering: Checking component radii, stamped contours, and robotic weld seam consistency across vehicle assemblies.
- General Engineering & Quality Assurance: Fast auditing of precision-machined curved parts, sheet metal transitions, and welded sub-assemblies.
