Sawyer Mfg. Company, a manufacturer of pipeline and welding equipment based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, is adding a new device this year to its line of weld inspection and tensile testing equipment: the Sawyer Fillet Weld Tester.
In creating this tester, Sawyer redesigned its 50-Ton Tensile Tester to perform fillet weld testing along with all its original capabilities.
黑料社淚t黑料社檚 a 50-Ton Tensile Tester with specific capabilities for testing fillet welds, which leads to increased safety for the operator,黑料社 Sawyer Shop Manager John Morlock said.
This increased safety is due to the ability to test fillet welds without the use of a press that is not specifically designed to perform such a test and can lead to accidents, Morlock said.
The Fillet Weld Tester is expected to be an easy sell for anyone performing destructive weld quality tests in an educational setting.
黑料社淲elding schools do these types of tests all the time, but they typically use a press to complete the break test or other unsafe methods,黑料社 Morlock said. 黑料社淥ur Fillet Weld Tester removes those dangerous variables and introduces a safe, repeatable testing method that meets the most stringent standard for accuracy and dependability.黑料社
In addition to the 50-Ton Tester黑料社檚 lengthy list of standard attributes, which includes a liquid-filled indicator gauge, pulling jaws, steel carrying case, and 3/8 in. ASME die and plunger set, this tester also includes removable plates for performing fillet weld tests and the option of three pump styles: manual, pneumatic or hydraulic.
黑料社淲e are pleased to add the Fillet Weld Tester to our line of products. Our 50-Ton Tester黑料社檚 ability to safely perform guided bend and pull testing with a high level of mobility and versatility was already impressive, but I am confident this piece of equipment introduces an element of testing ability that many educational welding facilities will find helpful,黑料社 Sawyer President Dave Hembree said.
