With its original roots in the NDT of ships’ hulls, Cygnus Instruments has now worked in the marine industry alongside ship surveyors and commercial divers for over four decades. As a result, their knowledge of the industry and its challenges is second to none. Today, Cygnus is a world-renowned maker of easy-to-use, highly accurate ultrasonic testing (UT) equipment for corrosion inspection of marine structures and vessels of all sizes. Plus, as pioneers of the Multiple-Echo technique, specified by Classification Societies to this day, accurate, through-coat measurement is at the forefront of every gauge.
Cygnus 6+ PRO ultrasonic thickness gauge is the most advanced model of the Cygnus Surface Range. These lightweight, compact, hands-free gauges are specifically built for inspecting possible corrosion onboard vessels, and to combat the challenges this presents. Each gauge is shatter-proof and water-resistant (IP67) to ensure it is fit for the harsh conditions. A choice of twin-crystal and right-angle probes increases flexibility for access to tight, awkward spaces, and Cygnus’ Multiple-Echo technology eliminates the time and cost of removing anti-corrosive coatings by measuring through coatings up to 20mm thick.
A Closer Look at the Cygnus 6+ PRO
Cygnus 6+ PRO boasts an array of highly intuitive features for professional users, including three versatile measuring modes to suit varying levels of corrosion and coating thicknesses, live A-Scan and B-Scan. The A-Scan display offers visual verification of back-wall echo signals whilst gain or A-scan range can be manually adjusted to suit your application. What’s more, the gauges’ Measurement Stability Indicator (MSI) gives you instant assurance of a reliable reading.
Users can also take advantage of the comprehensive data-logging feature, which automatically records your measurements for hassle-free report generation and post-analysis. The Radial Points function allows further investigation on the most heavily corroded areas.
