About Automatic Weld Size Gauge
For Accurate Calibration of Butt and Fillet Type Welds / GAL Welding Gauges
With the new improved GAL Gauge A.W.S. Gauge shown above it is possible to meet specifications of butt and fillet type welds. New designed instrument is pocket sized and easy to operate, new feature includes thumb screw which replaces old hard to perate rivet type.
Diagrams at left illustrate the ease with which welders and inspectors may accurately check sizes of convex or concave fillets as well as butt weld reinforcements.
The convexity and concavity sizes have automatically been predetermined in accordance with American Welding Society D1.1Paragraph 3.6.
GAL Welding Inspection Gauge is precision built of stainless steel with dimensional readings chemically etched and filled for easier reading
GAL Gage Co manufactured high performance welding inspection gauges are highly popular and recommended by welding inspectors..

FAQs of Automatic Weld Size Gauge:
Q: How is the Automatic Weld Size Gauge used to measure welds?
A: To measure welds, place the gauge against the weld joint, align the reference point, and read the etched graduations on the analog scale. It can be used manually to accurately measure weld size and throat thickness for butt, fillet, and reinforcement welds within the 1mm to 25mm range.
Q: What are the benefits of a satin/matte finish on this weld gauge?
A: The satin/matte finish reduces glare and enhances visibility of etched graduations, making it easier to read measurements in various lighting conditions. Additionally, it provides a professional appearance and added resistance against scratches during regular use.
Q: When should this gauge be used during the welding process?
A: This gauge is typically used during inspection phasesbefore, during, and after the welding processto ensure that welds conform to specified sizes and meet international inspection standards. It is vital for quality assurance in both field and workshop settings.
Q: Where can this weld gauge be applied?
A: The weld size gauge can be utilized in a wide variety of industrial environments, such as construction sites, fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and inspection services. Its universal functionality makes it suitable for dealers, exporters, manufacturers, and service providers across India.
Q: What makes this gauge compliant with international welding standards?
A: The gauge is precisely manufactured with high-quality materials, features accurate etched gradations, and is designed to meet the dimensions and tolerances stipulated by international welding inspection standards, ensuring reliable and recognized measurement results worldwide.
Q: How does manual operation benefit the user compared to electronic types?
A: Manual operation ensures that the gauge is simple to use, does not require batteries or electronic calibration, and remains reliable across different environments. Its analog design eliminates the risk of malfunctions due to electronic failure or harsh conditions.
