Applications
Weld gauges are widely used in various industries. In boiler manufacturing, they measure weld reinforcement, width, misalignment, and undercut depth to meet pressure part standards. In shipbuilding, they check fillet weld size, leg height, and assembly gaps to ensure hull strength. In oil pipelines, welding gauges assess groove angles and gap sizes to prevent welding defects and leaks. In industrial construction—such as bridges and pressure vessels—they provide accurate weld dimension data for process evaluation and quality control.

Q1: What materials is the fan-shaped weld gauge made from?
A1: SISCO's fan-shaped weld gauge is crafted from high-quality, industrial-grade stainless steel, known for its superior hardness, corrosion resistance, and structural integrity. Thanks to its robust build and precision laser-engraved scales, the welding gauge is highly resistant to wear and deformation even under frequent, intensive use. This makes it an ideal welding inspection tool in demanding environments such as shipbuilding, boiler fabrication, bridge construction, and pressure vessel welding.
Q2: What welding parameters can this gauge measure?
A2: This versatile welding gauge is designed to measure multiple critical welding dimensions with high accuracy. It can assess groove angles, weld bead height, weld seam width, and welding root gap—parameters essential for ensuring the structural strength and compliance of welded joints. Whether you're performing pre-welding setup verification or post-welding quality checks, this fan-type weld gauge provides reliable and repeatable measurements across a wide range of applications.
Q3: Is the fan-shaped welding gauge easy to carry and use on-site?
A3: Absolutely. Weighing just 0.17 kg and featuring a compact, foldable fan-shaped structure, the weld gauge is exceptionally portable. Its ergonomic design includes rounded edges and a comfortable grip zone, allowing for safe, fatigue-free operation during extended work sessions. The slim profile and sturdy construction mean it fits easily into tool belts, welding pouches, or protective cases, making it a perfect companion for on-site weld inspections in field and workshop environments alike.
Tips: What’s the best way to maintain the accuracy of a fan-shaped weld gauge?
To preserve the long-term accuracy and performance of your fan-shaped welding gauge, it’s essential to follow a few simple maintenance steps. After each use, wipe the surface with a clean, dry cloth to remove welding spatter, dust, or moisture. Store the gauge in a protective case to avoid accidental scratches or impacts, especially in toolboxes. While the stainless steel body offers excellent corrosion resistance, avoid exposing the gauge to harsh chemicals or extreme humidity for prolonged periods. A well-maintained stainless steel weld gauge not only ensures measurement reliability but also extends the tool's service life in industrial settings.
