Welding gauge WGU-2S
:
NIIGATASEIKI
The depth and length of the undercut can be measured simply, quickly, and accurately with the weld gauge.
[Features]
· Gauge dedicated for undercut depth measurement.
· Since the undercut probe is threaded, zero point adjustment is possible.
[Applications]
· Used to measure the depth and length of weld undercuts.
What is welding gauge
Welding gauge is used to measure and check size of welded part throat
thickness required strength split that may casue damage irregularity of
under-cut and overlap etc.

Terms of welding
- Throat thickness
The thickness from welded portion at triangular cross-section when welding two faces at 90°. - Arc strike
The arc that occurred to parts other than welding base metal when working on arc welding. - Pit
Blow hole on surface due to poor welding. - Bead
A belt shape rises after working on welding. - Under-Cut
The irregular groove at the toe of a rod in the welding base metal. - Overlap
The heap results from miss welding of the base metal.
