Description

The Paprsky Hi-Lo Weld Check (Metric/Standard) Gauge is a highly versatile pre-weld inspection and alignment device crafted specifically for evaluating internal pipe fit-ups and measuring wall thicknesses. Equipped with a sliding frame and unique internal alignment stops, it empowers inspectors to confirm proper pipe spacing and alignment prior to welding. This gauge promotes flawless fit-ups, thereby minimizing conditions that lead to socket-weld cracking. It offers dual-scale readings in both imperial and metric units and features precision-machined gap stops along with a built-in 37.5° bevel-checking capability.

Key Features 
 
  • Metric and Standard Readings: Provides accurate measurement capabilities utilizing both millimeter and inch-based scales. 
  • Internal Alignment Stops: Specially designed contact points help users easily assess and verify proper internal pipe fit-up and alignment. 
  • Sliding Body Design: Allows the main frame of the gauge to be adjusted and pressed snugly against the pipe's exterior surface for precise readings. 
  • Pipe Wall-Thickness Measurement: Accommodates the thorough inspection of material wall thickness during the fit-up verification stage. 
  • Precision-Milled Gap Stops: Incorporates accurately machined 1/16 in. and 3/32 in. stops to quickly check standard pre-set root gaps. 

Usage Instructions 

  1. Loosen the locking screw and carefully insert the gauge's feet into the joint gap of the pipe. 
  2. Turn the instrument 90° so that the feet span across the interior walls of both pipes. 
  3. Pull the gauge outward until the internal alignment stops rest firmly against the pipe's inside surface. 
  4. Push the sliding main body of the gauge down until it touches the outside of the pipe, then tighten the securing screw. 
  5. Withdraw the gauge from the joint and record the measurement displayed on the engraved scales. 

Applications 

  • Oil & Gas: Inspecting pre-weld pipe fit-ups for leak prevention and high-pressure transmission line setups. 
  • Power Plants: Verifying the crucial alignment of nuclear piping systems and high-temperature steam lines. 
  • Shipbuilding: Conducting hull-plate and marine pipe alignment evaluations during maritime vessel fabrication. 
  • Structural Steel: Assessing joint alignment and weld preparation quality for heavy building frameworks and bridge construction. 

Paprsky supplies highly accurate welding inspection tools crafted to facilitate precise fit-up, joint alignment, and overall weld quality assessments. The Hi-Lo Weld Check (Metric/Standard) Gauge aids welding specialists in verifying correct pipe placement and gap clearances before the welding process begins, ensuring optimal joint preparation and actively preventing socket-weld fractures.
