Measuring magnifier
A measuring magnifier is an optical magnification device with an integrated scale for precise measurement of surface defects and weld geometries during visual inspection.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
A measuring magnifier uses optical magnification to display small details sharply and precisely. The integrated scale allows the inspector to read dimensions directly on the surface.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
The measuring magnifier is essential for checking weld defects and geometry. Incorrect or missing inspections can lead to cracks, distortion, or inconsistencies, affecting the safety and service life of the weld.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Use a measuring magnifier with a magnification of at least 10x for precise inspection. Ensure the magnifier is clean and the light is well directed. Measure weld geometry such as depth, width, and angle exactly according to the component specifications.
