The Collins Companies supplies G.A.L. Gage products, providing welders, inspectors, pipefitters, maintenance teams and fabrication professionals with precision tools for measuring weld quality, pipe alignment, fit-up and other critical dimensions.
G.A.L. Gage Company manufactures specialized weld measuring gauges, alignment gauges and inspection tools used throughout industrial piping, power generation, petrochemical, hydraulic, aerospace, automotive, railroad and shipbuilding applications.
The G.A.L. Gage product line includes HI-LO welding gauges, Bridge Cam gauges, fillet weld gauges, gap and taper gauges, pit depth gauges, flange gauges, radius gauges, measuring calipers, inspection tool kits and the Gap-A-Let® socket-weld contraction ring. These tools help technicians check critical measurements including internal pipe misalignment, fit-up gaps, weld reinforcement, weld throat size, undercut, pitting, pipe wall thickness and angles of preparation.
G.A.L.'s Gap-A-Let® Rings are specifically designed for socket-weld applications and can significantly reduce fit-up time while establishing the required contraction space between the pipe and fitting. G.A.L. states that the rings can reduce socket-weld fit-up time by as much as 90%.
The Collins Companies provides G.A.L. Gage weld inspection and measuring products as part of our broader industrial pipe, valve, fitting, tooling and maintenance product offering. These products are well suited for fabrication shops, piping contractors, plant maintenance departments, quality-control personnel and welding inspectors who require accurate, repeatable measurements in the field or shop.
