20 Best Welding Measuring Tools List

This Welding Measuring Tools List will assist you with 20 essential measuring tools, from tape measures and squares to digital angle finders and 3D scanners.

Welding is irreversible, so proper measuring tools are essential for maximum accuracy. 

1. What tool is used for Welding?

✔ The welding machine is the most essential tool and should be carried by the welder in their welding box or kit. This device is typically known as a welding gun and welder, primarily operated to fuse materials.

✔ It delivers the required power to develop heat to dissolve materials and permits them to be bound together.

Tool	Images	Purpose and Description
a. Tape measure		Utilized to measure and estimate lengths and distances.
b. Steel rule		Operated to take the measurement of shorter distances and helps draw straight lines.
c. Combination square		Merges a square, level, protractor, and sketching tool in one close tool.
d. Framing square		Assessments for squareness and angles.
e. Carpenter’s square		Similar to a framing square.
f. Compass and dividers		This tool is used for drawing circles and creating equal intervals.
g. Torpedo level		Checks and reviews for level and plumb textures.
h. Builder’s level		Delivers elevated-precision leveling for extensive projects.
i. Speed square		A versatile square with markings for combined angles and rafter cuts.
j. Angle block		Measures and confirms angles more accurately than a speed square.
k. Height gauge		Employed to accurately check, measure, and position heights for welding chores.
l. Thickness gauge		Calculates the thickness of metal textiles for accurate cutting and Welding.
m. Calipers		It is operated to calculate inner and outer dimensions accurately.
n. Pi tape		Calculates pipe girth for pipe-suitable applications.
o. Marking tools		Employed for scratching, carving, and welding lines.
p. Digital angle finder		Calculates angles with elevated accuracy and exhibits the consequences electronically.
q. Laser Level		Projects a level sequence across a texture for correct alignment.
r. 3D scanner		Assembles a digital 3D imitation of an object for accurate measure and reproduction.
s. Welding Gauge		Used for checking alignment and dimensions before Welding, verifying weld dimensions, and checking the porosity of welds.
t. NDT tools		Employed to examine welds for faults without eliminating them (e.g., ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing).
