OVERVIEW

Precision Quality Control with the ESAB Inox Fillet Gauge

In the realm of industrial welding and fabrication, adherence to specified weld sizes is not merely a suggestion—it is a critical requirement for structural integrity and safety. The ESAB Inox Fillet Gauge (SKU: 0000593720) stands as an essential instrument for Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) professionals who demand accuracy and durability in their inspection tools. Unlike standard carbon steel gauges that may succumb to rust and corrosion when exposed to the humidity and fumes typical of a welding environment, this gauge is manufactured from high-grade Inox (stainless steel). This material choice ensures that the tool remains pristine and the measurement markings remain legible, even after years of rigorous use in the field.

This precision instrument is engineered to verify the dimensions of fillet welds, specifically measuring the leg length and throat thickness. Accurate measurement of these parameters is vital for ensuring that a weld meets the design criteria set forth by welding engineers and code requirements (such as AWS or ISO standards). The gauge allows inspectors to quickly determine if a weld is undersized, which could lead to structural failure, or oversized, which results in wasted filler metal and excessive heat input. The etched markings are designed to resist fading, providing a reliable reference point for every inspection.

The ESAB Inox Fillet Gauge is designed with the professional in mind. Its compact form factor allows it to be carried effortlessly in a pocket or inspection kit, ensuring it is always at hand when needed. Whether used for in-process checks or final visual inspection (VT), this gauge provides the objective data necessary to validate workmanship. By integrating this tool into your inspection protocol, you ensure a higher standard of quality and compliance across all fabrication projects.

Key Technical Benefits

  • Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel construction prevents rust, ensuring the tool maintains its accuracy and readability.
  • Dual Measurement: Capable of verifying both leg length and throat thickness, covering the two most critical dimensions of a fillet weld.
  • Durability: Hardened material resists nicks and wear from contact with rough weld surfaces.

FAQ

It is used to measure the size of fillet welds, specifically the leg length and throat thickness, to ensure they meet specified requirements.

'Inox' is a term for stainless steel. It indicates that the gauge is made from stainless steel, making it resistant to rust and corrosion.

Yes, most standard fillet gauges are designed to measure the leg length of both convex and concave fillet welds.

While simple mechanical gauges like this don't require electronic calibration, they should be visually inspected regularly for wear or damage that could affect accuracy. Some ISO standards may require periodic verification against a master standard.

Absolutely. Its stainless steel construction makes it highly durable and resistant to the elements, perfect for field sites.

You can wipe it down with a clean cloth and a mild solvent or degreaser. Since it is stainless steel, it is resistant to most shop chemicals.

Packaging varies, but these gauges often come in a small plastic sleeve or pouch to protect them when not in use.

A fillet gauge is designed to fit into the joint geometry and provides a much more accurate and consistent reading of the weld leg and throat than a standard tape measure or ruler.
