1. To Determine the Size of a Fillet Weld
2. To Check the Pemissible Tolerance of Convexity
3. To Check the Permissible Tolerance of Concavity and Underfill
4. To Check the Permissible Tolerance of Reinforcement
With the new improved A.W.S. Gauge shown above it is possible to meet specifications of butt and fillet type welds. New redesigned instrument is pocket sized and easy to operate, new feature includes thumb screw which replaces old hard to operate rivet type.
Diagrams at left illustrate the ease with which welders and inspectors may accurately check sizes of convex or concave fillets as well as butt weld reinforcements.
The convexity and concavity sizes have automatically been predetermined in accordance with American Welding Society DI.I. Paragraph 3.6.
Instrument is precision built of stainless steel with dimensional readings chemically etched and filled for easier reading.
