Visual Inspection of Welds Using The Cambridge Multi-Purpose Welding Gauge

The document describes the Cambridge Multi-Purpose Welding Gauge, which can be used to measure various welding parameters. It can measure the angle of preparation from 00 to 600, linear misalignment by placing the gauge on members, excess weld metal or root penetration by placing the edge on a plate, undercut or mechanical damage by positioning on a plate, fillet weld actual throat thickness up to 20mm using a small sliding pointer, and fillet weld leg length up to 25mm.

MULTI-PURPOSE WELDING GAUGE:

Visual Inspection of Welds Using the


Cambridge
Multi-Purpose Welding Gauge:
CAMBRIDGE MULTI-PURPOSE WELDING GAUGE:

Angle of preparation:
This scale reads from 00 to 600 in steps of 50.
The angle is read against the chamfered edge of the plate or pipe.
CAMBRIDGE MULTI-PURPOSE WELDING GAUGE:

Linear Misalignment:
The gauge may be used to measure misalignment of members by placing the
edge of the gauge on the lower member and rotating the segment until the
pointed finger contacts the higher member.
CAMBRIDGE MULTI-PURPOSE WELDING GAUGE:

Excess Weld Metal/Root penetration:


The scale is used to measure excess weld metal or root penetration,
by placing the edge of the gauge on the plate and rotating the
segment until the pointed finger contacts the excess weld metal or
root bead at its highest point.
CAMBRIDGE MULTI-PURPOSE WELDING GAUGE:
Undercut / mechanical damage (grinding etc)
The gauge may be used to measure the depth of undercut by
placing the edge of the gauge on the plate and rotating the
segment until the pointed finger contacts the lowest depth of the
undercut.
The reading is taken on the scale to the left of the zero mark in
mm or inches.
CAMBRIDGE MULTI-PURPOSE WELDING GAUGE:

Fillet Weld Actual Throat Thickness:


The small sliding pointer reads up to 20mm, or ¾ inch. When checking
the throat you measure the actual throat thickness also note! that there
is a ‘nominal’ design throat thickness,
CAMBRIDGE MULTI-PURPOSE WELDING GAUGE:

Fillet Weld Leg Length:


The gauge may be used to measure fillet weld leg lengths of up
to 25mm, as shown on left.
