About Fillet Weld Gauge
Caltech India offers Fillet Weld Gauge. The G.A.L. Fillet Weld Gauge allows fast, accurate measurement of eleven (11) fillet weld sizes: 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8, and 1, and their metric equivalents, to determine weld sizes, either concave or convex.
Accuracy Guaranteed New Manufacturing Process Allows This Unsurpassed Accuracy of ±.005
Each gauge blade is made of 1-1/4" x 4" cold rolled stainless steel to resist rust and bending. Blades are deburred to remove rough edges. All sizes and numerals are engraved into the surface for easier reading. The set of seven blades comes in a handy 2 x 4 1/2 pocket case weighing only 4 oz.
Ultimate Precision for Weld InspectionEngineered for industrial use, this fillet weld gauge delivers exceptional accuracy and repeatability. The etched engravings in both inch and millimeter scales make direct readings simple and error-free. Precision-ground edges ensure measurements are consistently reliable, making it a vital instrument for weld assessment where quality control is paramount.
Durable, User-Friendly ConstructionConstructed from robust stainless steel and finished in satin for clear visibility, the gauge withstands demanding environments and frequent handling. Corrosion resistance and a lightweight profile offer both durability and portability. Whether you work in manufacturing, inspection, or field service, it is an indispensable addition to your toolkit.
Comprehensive Package for Seamless ApplicationDesigned with user convenience in mind, this gauge is available with options for a metal case or pouch, and includes an instruction manual (supplier-dependent) for swift and accurate setup. Its ready for immediate application in quality control, ensuring every weld meets exacting standards.
FAQs of Fillet Weld Gauge:
Q: How do I use the fillet weld gauge to measure welds?
A: To use the gauge, simply place its precision-ground edge alongside the weld fillet. Align the most suitable scale (inches or millimeters) to the fillets leg or throat dimension, and read the value directly from the engraved markings. Always follow the included instructions for optimal accuracy.
Q: What makes this weld gauge suitable for industrial applications?
A: This gauge is built from durable stainless steel and features etched scales for clear, lasting visibility. Its industrial-grade accuracy (within 0.1 mm), wide measuring range (3 mm to 25 mm), and corrosion resistance make it ideal for demanding tasks by welders and inspectors.
Q: When should I use a fillet weld gauge during the inspection process?
A: A fillet weld gauge should be used at both intermediate and final inspection stages to verify fillet size and throat thickness, ensuring compliance with specified welding standards and preventing costly rework.
Q: Where can this gauge be used effectively?
A: It is highly effective in manufacturing plants, construction sites, workshops, and quality assurance departments; basically, anywhere welded joints require precise inspection and documentation.
Q: What benefits does the satin finish and etched markings provide?
A: The satin finish minimizes glare, enhancing readability in varied lighting, while deeply etched markings remain legible after extensive use, assuring consistent, precise measurement readings over time.
Q: Is the gauge easy to transport and store?
A: Yes, its compact size and optional carrying pouch or metal case make it easy to transport between job sites and ensure safe storage when not in use.
