Product Information

Then, place the gauge such that the beveled edges of the gauge rest squarely on the two adjoining surfaces of the fillet weld. The gap between the slider and the surface of the weld is a measure of the convexity. In this case, more gap means less convexity.

The DOVETAIL MEASURING GAUGE XS SIGHT SYSTEMS DOVETAIL MEASURING GAUGE is a must-have for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who want to achieve a precise and professional-looking dovetail sight installation. With its accuracy and ease of use, it saves time and reduces the chances of error, making it an excellent investment for those who frequently work with dovetail slots.Visual aids (magnifying glass, torch) and gauges are used to support the detection of welding discontinuities and to measure the size of welds in fabrication companies.

However, it is important to note that excessive convexity can actually have a negative impact on the overall strength of the weld, as it can create weld bumps that protrude outward from the surface.

Measuring Tools - Micrometers

Generally, the gauges in today’s market come imprinted with values on the surface of the gauge. The gauges are single piece items, made up of stainless steels, and can be put to rugged use to make a large number of inspections before the gauge becomes worn out and not accurate enough. The gage is then simply replaced with a new one, as these gauges come at affordable prices. What Fillet Weld Gauges Do Professionals Use? To measure weld reinforcement, lower the legs of the gauge to the surface of the plate. Then, using the tip, place it at the highest point on the weld. The Weld reinforcement dimension is again read from this scale. This weld reinforcement measures 1/8 of one inch or approx 3.1 mm Adjustable fillet weld gauges are great because they are convenient and do not require you to carry around as many tools. How to Use a Fillet Weld Gauge First find out the expected fillet size of the weld, by referring drawing or any other technical document.
