VT® gauges are the solution for a quick, simple, and precise visual inspection of weld seams

VT® gauges now allow for a very rapid and efficient visual quality control of weld seams, resulting in a reliable and continuous outcome during the welding work. Their use is simple and accessible for all examiner profiles.

How to execute the visual inspection of welds with VT® gauges?

VT® gauges facilitate a very straightforward and swift visual inspection of weld seams, providing immediate and dependable results. The quality control of the welds is easily achievable.

The visual inspection procedure for welds is highly simplified compared to conventional tools. The visual inspection is carried out in only 3 steps (instead of five with classical tools):

Step 1

Review instructions

Review the work instruction to execute the visual inspection of the weld

The instruction is very straightforward and reads like a comic strip, very visual

The instruction only contains a few pages, so it’s quick to read and to grasp

The principle of the highly simplified VT® Gauge: no measurements taking, no calculations, no standard manipulation

Step 2

Application of the VT® gauge

The examiner has a kit of VT® gauges, very compact and ergonomic to check the weld seam

The kit is very compact, so the examiner can always have it with them

The VT® gauge is very reliable because it contains no moving parts

The VT® gauge is made of stainless steel

Step 3

Immediate validation

The time-saving is enormous

All this is achieved without standards, without calculations, and without measurements
