The Gauge-Mini Sub Metric – GAL#14 is a compact inspection tool built for checking socket weld fit-up and weld dimensions in pipe fabrication. It gives welders and inspectors a fast, reliable way to verify weld quality during production and inspection.

This gauge measures fillet weld leg length and throat size with accuracy. It suits socket weld applications and works well for pipefitters, welders and inspectors in oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation and general process piping.

A key advantage is its ability to check across all pipe schedules. This makes it highly versatile when working with different wall thicknesses and fittings. The sliding pointers adjust quickly, allowing users to take measurements faster and move efficiently between jobs.

The gauge uses stainless steel construction for strength and durability. It resists corrosion and handles tough workshop and site conditions. The compact, lightweight design fits easily in a pocket or clips onto a keychain, so it stays close at hand when needed.

A built-in reference line, commonly set at 1/2″, helps users confirm correct socket weld spacing. This supports proper fit-up and helps maintain compliance with welding procedures and industry standards.

Locking screws hold the sliding parts in place, giving stable and repeatable readings. This improves accuracy and reduces the chance of measurement errors during inspection.

The GAL CAT-14 Mini Sub Socket Weld Gauge offers a simple, effective way to check weld size and fit-up. It helps maintain consistency and quality across pipe fabrication work.
