Product Description
The HFS V-WAC Single Weld Gage is a top-tier tool designed for precision and ease of use in welding inspections. Made with robust stainless steel and featuring etched increments, this gauge delivers consistent accuracy for measuring undercut depth, crown height, and surface porosity. Whether you’re a professional welder or a quality inspector, this gauge is an indispensable addition to your toolkit.
To measure an area of undercut, set the bottom of the gauge on the base material, set the tip of the pointer into the area of undercut and read the amount of undercut from this scale. The locking screw can be tightened to hold readings for future references.
To measure the weld reinforcement of a butt weld, set the bottom of the gauge on the base material and set the tip of the pointer on the top center of the butt weld. Read the height of the weld on this scale.
To measure outside misalignment, set the bottom of the gauge on one of the pipes, extend the tip of the pointer to the adjacent pipe and move the pointer up or down to make contact. The reading from this scale will give you the amount of misalignment.
To measure a line surface porosity in one linear inch, place the end of the gauge with the scale along the length of the weld to be examined. Read the amount of aligned pores in one linear inch from the scale with 1/16 of an inch increments.
To compare surface porosity for size, place either the 1/8" or the 1/16" hole in the gauge next to the pore in the weld to be checked. Compare the size of the pores to the holes in the gauge.
Product Information
- [Material]: The gauge is constructed from stainless steel, ensuring durability and a long service life. It features high-precision, wear-resistant markings for consistently clear readings.
- [Features]: The undercut depth or crown height scale can be read to 1/64 of an inch. It includes a porosity comparison for 1/8 inch and 1/16 inch. The linear gauge measures in 1/16 inch increments.
- [Easy to Use]: The pointer is easy to set, and the locking screw secures it in position for later reference. Figures and increments are etched into the surface, ensuring they are easy to read and will not wear off.
- [Wide Application]: This V-WAC Single Weld Gauge is versatile, allowing you to measure undercuts or pits, reinforcement of butt welds, outside misalignment, surface porosity per linear inch, and compare surface porosity for size.
- [Package Includes]: One V-WAC Single Weld Gauge.
