         WG-1 HI-LO ® Welding Gage measures internal alignment of pipe after fit-up/ alignment. This cuts radiographic rejects. It measures internal misalignment of pipe before and after tacking. Measurements read in inch on one side and metric on the opposite side. The gauge measures internal mismatch of pipe wall, scribe lines, weld fillet and crown height. It satisfies fit-up codes ASME, ANSI, API & Military.
         
WG-2 Economy Single Purpose HI-LO ® Welding Gage is designed for internal alignment and determining rootweld spacing.
Internal HI-LO ® gage. Four quick steps check internal alignment
You can check the internal alignment of your fit-up quickly with the WG-2 HI-LO Gage.
1. unlock the retaining screws. Press the gage legs beyond the barrel.
2. insert the legs ( wires ) into the root gap space of the two pieces of pipe to be fitted. Turn the gage 90 º, being careful to apply a constant back pressure to the barrel.
3. Hold the gage as square as possible with the fitting to obtain an accurate reading. Lock the retaining screw, Reverse the 90º turn and remove the gage. Youve now ready to read the increment opposite the red line.
4. When the red line aligns with the 1/32 increment you have a good internal alignment and fit-up. Misalignment can be determined from the zero line by increment markings of 1/16 inch.
Rootweld spacing gage. Easy operation determines rootweld spacing.
1. Unlock the retaining screw and insert the gage interior alignment stops between the two pieces of pipe to be fitted.
2. Insert the leg with the long taper into the root gap until it makes contact with both sides of the gap.
Relock the retaining screw, remove the gage and read it.
3. The scale is calibrated in fractional dimensions from 1/32 to 3/16 inch in 1/16 inch increment markings. The readout you receive represents the amount of the rootweld gap.
 Adjustable fillet weld gauge with unequal leg measurement feature.
This gauge measures any fillet weld from 1/8" to 1" to 1/32" accuracy with just one simple to use gauge.
The  adjustable fillet weld gauge used an offset arm which slides at a 45º angle to make fillet weld length measurement. Simply adjust the arm until it touches the toe of the vertical leg. The gage is calibrated to 32nds. Four screws hold the offset arm in position for future adjustments.
This gauge also measures weld throat thickness to 1/16" of an inch by adjusting a pointer in position for future reference. If the weld is concave, more filler material can be added to build the weld throat up to standard. The WG-3 adjustable fillet weld gauge is made of durable, rust resistant stainless steel. Its 2-1/4 x 3" slim design weighs only 1-1/2 Oz. It fits easily into a shirt pocket. Because there is just one gage need to make all measurements, the chance of losing essential fillet weld gage blades is eliminated. Fumbling through seven different gages blades is also eliminated.
WG-3 adjustable fillet weld gauge measures both leg lengths and weld throat fillet weld thickness.
Weld Gauge or Bridge Cam Gauge is a unique, versatile instrument for the inspection of welded surfaces and joints.
It measures angle of preparation, 0 to 60 º, excess weld metal ( capping size), depth of undercut, depth of pitting, fillet weld throat size, fillet leg length, misalignment ( high-low), and linear measurements up to 60mm or 2 inches.
It measures in both inch or millimeters.
It is easy to use. It comprising of one rotating dial and one sliding pointer. Move the dial or pointer until it makes the appropriate contact and then read the result.
