Description
Built specifically for the evaluation of skewed (non-perpendicular) T-joints, the Paprsky Sliding Pointer Skew Fillet Weld Gauge accurately assesses weld leg sizes and dihedral angles across both the obtuse and acute sides of a connection. By pairing the gauge's readings with a corresponding slide-rule calculator or reference chart, users can easily calculate theoretical throat dimensions to ensure compliance with relevant industry codes.

- Skewed T-Joint Inspection: Engineered expressly for assessing and verifying precise dimensions on out-of-square, non-perpendicular T-joint connections.
- Acute and Obtuse Angle Measurement: Capable of reading dihedral angles from 30° up to 90° on acute joints, and expanding up to 150° on the obtuse side.
- Weld Leg Length Measurement: Facilitates the immediate and accurate sizing of weld legs on either side of the intersected pieces.
- Sliding Pointer Design: Features a movable indicator that touches the weld's toe, allowing the user to take direct, physical measurements.
Usage Instructions
- Position the instrument squarely against the joint to gauge the dihedral angle.
- Rest the base of the tool completely flat along one side of the welded assembly.
- Glide the indicator inward until the tip touches the toe of the weld on the adjoining metal piece.
- Fasten the thumb screw to lock the gathered measurement securely in place.
- Consult the provided reference chart to translate your gauge reading into the proper theoretical throat dimension.
Applications
- Evaluating non-perpendicular skewed T-joints in the construction of buildings and structural steel bridges.
- Checking weld conformities on angled hull reinforcements within the shipbuilding and marine industries.
- Aiding comprehensive quality-control assessments during routine welding inspections.
- Confirming pre-weld member angles and root gaps during the initial fit-up phase.
- Sizing weld profiles efficiently across maintenance, inspection, and heavy fabrication environments.
Paprsky supplies highly functional weld inspection instruments engineered for consistent and precise sizing. This Sliding Pointer Skew Fillet Weld Gauge enables the meticulous assessment of joint angles, weld leg thicknesses, and skewed T-intersections, making it an essential asset for quality assurance and structural fabrication tasks.
