PE Butt-Fusion Bead Width Reference Gauge
A faster visual check of PE bead width.
The MTS Bead Width Gauge gives trained PE pipeline operators, supervisors and inspectors a quick, practical way to compare a completed butt-fusion bead with the selected minimum and maximum reference points.
PRACTICAL SITE REFERENCE
Make the visual comparison quick and consistent
The appearance and width of a completed bead form part of the visual inspection of a PE butt-fusion joint.
What it helps you do
Compare a cooled fusion bead with clearly marked minimum and maximum reference points, then identify anything that may need closer review.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
A visual reference - not a joint test
The Bead Width Gauge system is not a calibrated measuring instrument and does not certify that a fusion joint is acceptable.
It cannot assess fusion strength, internal joint condition, contamination, alignment, heater-plate temperature or fusion pressure.
