Bridge Cam Gauge for Weld Inspection of Fillet Size, Throat Thickness and Angle Measurements

Available Measurements in Inches or Millimeters

• Angle of Preparation: Adjustable from 0º to 60º for precise bevels
• Excess Weld Metal: Capping size measurement to ensure optimal weld finish
• Depth of Undercut: Accurate detection of undercut areas in welds
• Depth of Pitting: Measures surface pitting for quality control
• Fillet Weld Throat Size: Ensures correct throat thickness for structural integrity
• Fillet Weld Length: Tracks weld length for consistency
• Misalignment (High-Low): Detects deviations for precise alignment

The Bridge Cam Gauge is widely used by welding inspectors, fabricators, and quality control technicians to measure weld fillet throat size and leg length in structural and pressure‑retained welds. These gauges help ensure welds meet specified geometric tolerances and industry code requirements, and welding inspection resources describe how accurate dimensional checks support quality assurance and structural integrity in fabrication and maintenance workflows.

Professionals value the Bridge Cam Gauge for its simple, robust design and rapid measurement capability that supports consistent weld verification during shop or field inspections. Compared with improvised tools, dedicated gauges provide repeatable fillet measurements that improve compliance with welding specifications and reduce the need for costly rework during fabrication quality control programs.
