Description
Gauge-V-Wac Pat. Imp – GAL#05
The Gauge-V-Wac Pat. Imp helps welders and inspectors quickly determine if fillet welds meet NRC Visual Weld Acceptance Criteria. It delivers fast, clear measurements during fabrication, inspection, or maintenance work. Use it in the workshop or out on site with confidence.
This gauge checks the four essential measurements required for NRC visual weld acceptance. It measures undercut depth, crown height, porosity comparison, and porosity per linear inch using one compact tool. This saves time and removes the need for multiple gauges.
The scale allows accurate measurement of undercut depth and crown height up to 1/4 inch. The gauge reads in 1/32 inch increments, giving reliable detail when inspecting weld profiles. The crown height measurement scale reads in 1/64 inch increments, allowing precise evaluation of weld reinforcement. This accuracy helps inspectors verify weld quality against required standards.
The gauge also allows fast porosity comparison using 1/8 inch and 1/16 inch reference sizes. This feature makes visual inspection easier when assessing weld defects. The built-in linear scale in 1/16 inch increments helps determine the amount of porosity per linear inch of weld.
The Gauge-V-Wac Pat. Imp is easy to set and simple to use. A locking screw holds the gauge in position, allowing repeat measurements or reference checks without losing your setting. This helps maintain consistent inspection results across multiple welds.
Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the gauge provides excellent durability and corrosion resistance. The etched markings remain clear and easy to read even after heavy use. Its compact design fits easily into a pocket, inspection kit, or toolbox.
The Gauge-V-Wac Pat. Imp is widely used in structural fabrication, welding inspection, and quality control environments. It offers a fast and practical way to check welds against NRC visual weld acceptance standards.
