The following diagram provides all of the standard terminology associated with a groove weld.
The coped portion is used to measure the leg length of fillet welds. The coped portion is
elongated on the bottom portion to keep it from interfering with the measurement. This requires
that the gauge be positioned twice, once for each leg of the fillet.
The scalloped portion is used to measure the throat of the weld. The center portion of this side
has a short flat feature positioned at 45° degrees, which is designed to come in contact with the
weld face. When the flat on the throat side has contact, it is confirmed that the fillet weld meets
or exceeds the throat dimension specified on the inspection tool.
