Platinum WC-HJC40 Welding Seam Inspection Gauge – HJC-40

The Platinum WC-HJC40 Welding Seam Inspection Gauge – HJC-40 is a precision weld inspection gauge designed for welders, inspectors, and quality control staff who need accurate, repeatable measurements on finished welds. Manufactured from stainless steel, this welding gauge stands up to high temperatures, shop abuse, and regular field use without bending or wearing out quickly. Its compact layout brings several common weld checks into one tool so you can verify weld size and profile without digging through a toolbox for multiple gauges.

The HJC-40 weld inspection gauge is marked with clear, laser-engraved scales that are easy to read in the shop or on site. With one tool, you can measure fillet weld leg length, weld reinforcement, throat size, undercut, and pit depth, helping you confirm that welds meet print, code, or procedure requirements. Because it fits easily in a pocket, pouch, or helmet bag, this welding seam inspection gauge is a practical everyday instrument for fabrication shops, structural steel work, and training labs where weld quality must be checked and documented on a regular basis.

Platinum Welding Seam Inspection Gauge At a Glance

• Stainless Steel Construction: Resists heat, corrosion, and wear in both shop and field environments.
• Multi-Function Weld Gauge: Measures fillet weld leg length, weld reinforcement, throat size, undercut, and pit depth with one tool.
• Laser-Engraved Scales: Fine, permanent markings stay readable over time and are less likely to wear off.
• Compact, Pocket-Size Design: Slim profile slips easily into a pocket or pouch for quick access during inspections.
• Smooth, Pivoting Pointer: Allows fine adjustment when lining up to weld surfaces for accurate readings.
• Easy-to-Read Layout: Scale arrangement makes it simple to compare welds to job specifications or code requirements.
• Field-Ready Durability: Built to withstand regular handling, drops, and transport between job sites.
• Low-Maintenance Tool: Requires no batteries or calibration equipment for normal use.

Markets

• Metal Fabrication Shops Used to confirm weld size and profile on parts before they leave the shop.
• Structural Steel and Construction Handy for checking welds on beams, columns, handrails, and site welds.
• Pipeline and Pressure Vessel Work Assists inspectors and welders checking reinforcement, undercut, and pit depth on critical welds.
• Manufacturing and OEM Production Supports in-process and final weld inspection on production lines.
• Maintenance and Repair Facilities Helps verify weld quality on equipment repairs and modifications.
• Third-Party Inspection and QA Services Compact weld inspection gauge for inspectors working across multiple sites.
• Trade Schools and Welding Programs Training tool for teaching students how to measure fillet welds and read weld gauges correctly.

Welders, instructors, and inspectors in these markets benefit from having a dedicated welding seam inspection gauge that is always ready for use. In fabrication and structural work, the HJC-40 makes it straightforward to check whether fillet welds match the specified leg length or if reinforcement is within the allowed limits before jobs are signed off. On pipelines, pressure vessels, and heavy equipment, the same gauge helps identify undercut, pits, or excessive buildup that could affect service life or code compliance. Training programs use this weld inspection gauge to show students how the sizes they read on drawings translate into real weld measurements, which builds good habits early. Because the tool is small, tough, and does not rely on electronics, inspectors can carry it daily and trust it to provide quick, consistent readings wherever they are working.

Platinum WC-HJC40 Welding Seam Inspection Gauge – HJC-40 Features

• Stainless Steel Body: Made from stainless steel to handle high temperatures, rough handling, and exposure to weld spatter and shop conditions.
• Multi-Measure Capability: One instrument checks reinforcement height, fillet weld leg length, throat thickness, undercut depth, and pit depth.
• Laser-Engraved Markings: Deep, crisp graduations are laser engraved to remain legible after years of use and cleaning.
• Compact, Low-Profile Shape: Thin, flat design fits easily in pockets, tool pouches, or inspection kits.
• Pivoting Pointer and Slides: Moving pointer and gauge tips allow precise alignment with weld toes and surfaces.
• Simple, Mechanical Operation: No batteries, screens, or electronics—just a reliable mechanical weld gauge.
• Easy Cleaning: Smooth stainless surfaces wipe clean after exposure to spatter, dust, or cutting fluids.
• Versatile Use: Suitable for mild steel, stainless, aluminum, and other common welded materials.

Why Professionals Choose the Platinum Welding Seam Inspection Gauge – HJC-40

Inspectors and welders choose the Platinum WC-HJC40 welding seam inspection gauge because it puts several critical weld checks into one stainless steel tool that can live in a pocket every day. Instead of carrying separate fillet weld gauges and depth gauges, they can measure reinforcement height, leg length, throat size, and undercut with a single weld inspection gauge that is fast to set and easy to read. In busy fabrication shops or on structural steel, this saves time while helping crews prove that their welds meet drawing or code requirements.

Quality control staff also value how durable and straightforward the HJC-40 is. Laser-engraved scales stay readable after regular cleaning, and the stainless construction does not mind heat, spatter, or rough handling on site. Training programs use the same welding gauge to teach students how to connect weld symbols and dimensions to real welds, giving them a concrete feel for acceptable weld sizes and profiles. For anyone responsible for weld quality—whether in a shop bay, on a construction site, or in a classroom—the WC-HJC40 provides a dependable, easy-to-carry weld inspection gauge that supports consistent, documented results.
