The Paprsky Sliding Pointer Skew Fillet Weld Gauge is designed for inspecting skewed T-joints. It measures dihedral angles and weld leg lengths on both acute and obtuse sides of a joint. When used with its reference chart or slide-rule calculator, the gauge supports determination of theoretical throat sizes according to applicable standards.
Paprsky provides practical welding inspection tools designed for reliable dimensional measurement. The Sliding Pointer Skew Fillet Weld Gauge supports accurate evaluation of skewed T-joints, weld leg lengths, and joint angles for fabrication and quality-control applications.

Key Features
- Skewed T-Joint Inspection: Designed specifically for inspection of non-perpendicular T-joints.
- Acute and Obtuse Angle Measurement: Measures dihedral angles from 30° to 90° on the acute side and up to 150° on the obtuse side.
- Weld Leg Length Measurement: Supports measurement of weld leg lengths on both sides of the joint.
- Sliding Pointer Design: Adjustable pointer contacts the weld toe for direct measurement.
Usage Instructions
- Place the gauge against the joint to measure the dihedral angle.
- Set the gauge base flat against one member of the weldment.
- Slide the pointer until its tip contacts the weld toe on the opposite member.
- Tighten the thumb screw to secure the measurement.
- Use the reference chart to convert the reading into the theoretical throat size.
Applications
- Inspecting skewed T-joints in structural steel bridges and buildings.
- Verifying welds in non-perpendicular hull reinforcements in shipbuilding applications.
- Supporting welding quality-control inspections.
- Checking member angles and gaps during fit-up before final welding.
- Measuring weld dimensions in fabrication, maintenance, and inspection work.
