Description

The Paprsky V-WAC Gauge is a specialized weld inspection instrument designed for QA/QC professionals and NDT technicians to quickly and accurately evaluate surface discontinuities, such as undercut depth, porosity pits, and joint misalignment. Precision-machined from solid stainless steel, this rugged gauge delivers long-term corrosion resistance and dimensional stability during demanding field and shop operations. Featuring high-contrast etched graduations and a smooth-gliding adjustment pointer, the V-WAC Gauge enables dependable, on-the-spot measurement to maintain strict compliance with international welding codes and structural safety standards.

Key Features

Accurate Surface Defect Assessment: Purpose-built to measure undercut depth, pitting, porosity dimensions, and seam misalignment, minimizing subjective visual estimation.
Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel: Machined from high-grade stainless steel to resist rust, chemical exposure, and mechanical wear across harsh fabrication environments.
Low-Friction Sliding Mechanism: Smooth, precision-fit sliding pointer glides and locks securely into position for fast, repeatable on-site readings.
Permanent Etched Graduations: Deeply engraved, high-visibility scale markings remain crisp and legible even after prolonged exposure to abrasive jobsite conditions.
Compact & Portable Profile: Lightweight pocket-sized design allows inspectors to carry and deploy the tool effortlessly during aerial, confined-space, or field audits.

Applications

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Audits: Rapid surface screening and verification of weld seam integrity in shipbuilding and heavy equipment fabrication.
Structural Steel Erection: On-site QA/QC inspection of structural joints, bridge girders, and architectural steel frameworks.
Pressure Piping & Vessel Manufacturing: Verifying weld profile limits, undercut thresholds, and surface pits on critical containment lines.
Field Welding Inspection: Direct visual inspection and code compliance verification by certified welding inspectors across infrastructure projects.
