What is the best method to use when measuring for to much convexity in a fillet weld per D1.1. I know what the code says for tolerances. But how to physically measure the convexity and  make the decision is where I need help. Thanks guys.

There’s an article “What Is This Thing Called Convexity”, which addresses your question.  Scroll to page 3, to the “Method For Measuring Fillet Weld Convexity” paragraph.  It provides explanation and an example of how to determine it.  Here’s the link:

GAL actually makes a gauge for this now:
