Description
SERIES 970
A Welding Seam Gauge is a precision tool used to measure various dimensions of welds, such as the size, thickness, angle, and height of the weld seam. This tool helps ensure that welds meet specific quality standards and comply with design requirements in industries like construction, shipbuilding, automotive, and fabrication. It is an essential tool for welders and inspectors to evaluate the quality and integrity of a weld.
- Buttons: zero, mm/inch, on/off
- Measures crown height
- Measures fillet weld throat size
- Measures angle

Applications
-
Quality Control in Welding:
- Weld Inspection: Used to check the size, angle, and other critical dimensions of a weld seam to ensure it meets required standards (e.g., AWS, DIN, ISO).
- Defect Detection: Helps identify welding defects such as underfilled or overfilled welds, improper throat size, or incorrect angles that could affect the weld’s strength.
-
Fabrication and Construction:
- Pre-Weld Setup: Ensures the correct fit-up, angle, and alignment of parts before welding begins, minimizing errors during the process.
- Post-Weld Inspection: Used after welding to ensure that welds conform to design specifications and industry standards, reducing the risk of structural failures.
-
Shipbuilding, Automotive, and Aerospace:
- Precision Welding: In industries where precision and safety are critical, such as shipbuilding, automotive, and aerospace, a welding seam gauge ensures weld integrity and structural soundness.
-
Education and Training:
- Training Aid: Frequently used in welding education to teach apprentices and new welders how to inspect and measure welds accurately, promoting good welding practices.
A Welding Seam Gauge is an essential tool for welders, inspectors, and fabricators to ensure that welds meet required specifications and quality standards. It provides a quick and accurate way to measure critical weld dimensions such as size, throat thickness, and angles. Durable, portable, and multi-functional, it is widely used in industries where weld quality is paramount to safety and performance.
