High Temperature Measurement

Using the NEW High Temperature Probe, measurements can be taken on hot surfaces of up to 300°C
No cooling period required, reducing inspection time and facilitating more effective measurement
Option to use standard cable or more robust, braided cable.

Comprehensive Data Logging

Linear, 2D grid and template based logging
16 grid patterns available
Add radial points to any measurement to further investigate immediately an area of interest or heavy corrosion
Eight user-defined text comments to attach to any measurement point
Auto-log feature
Saves measurements and A-scans
Records stored on an SD card
CygLink software used to transfer and manage data.

Three Versatile Measuring Modes

Multiple-Echo mode uses three error checked back wall echoes to provide the most reliable and accurate remaining thickness measurements, with no need to remove coatings (up to 20 mm thick)
Single-Echo mode is ideal for measuring uncoated metals with heavy front and/or back-wall corrosion. Also effective on a range of cast metals, plastics and composites
Echo-Echo mode works best for measuring heavily corroded metals through thin coatings of up to 1 mm thick, ideal for measuring painted metals with heavy back wall corrosion.

CygLink Software

CygLink is a Windows® based application used to transfer and manage data logger records, A-scans, measurement comments and material velocity tables. The program can generate PDF reports and export to Excel. It also displays A‑scans, allowing for after-the-event analysis of logged measurements.

MSI™ (Measurement Stability Indicator)

Exclusive to Cygnus, MSI™ ensures stable and therefore, reliable measurements are displayed in Echo‑Echo and Single-Echo modes.

To compliment Cygnus’ range of ultrasonic thickness testers we offer a range of portable UTM probes. The performance of any ultrasonic thickness tester relies heavily on the probe and its suitability to the material being tested. Therefore, selecting the right probe is vital.

All Cygnus’ portable UTM probes are made from stainless steel and have a hard wear face or a wear membrane to protect the probe.

Variety of Cygnus INOX Probes

Stainless steel Single Crystal probes: Used in multiple-echo mode, include replaceable membranes for long life, require no zeroing and have a high linear accuracy.
Stainless steel Twin Crystal probes: Used in echo-echo and single-echo modes, have improved measurability on extreme back wall corrosion and pitting.
Probes for use with the Cygnus 2+, 4, 4+ and 6+ testers are fitted with a BNC or Lemo 00 connector.

Single Crystal Probes

Twin Crystal Probes

High Temperature Probe

Twin element ultrasonic probe designed for high-temperature, in-service thickness measurements and corrosion surveys across oil and gas, refining, energy and process sectors.

No cooling period required – reducing inspection time and facilitating effective measurement
For use on hot surfaces up to 300°C
Measures remaining wall thickness from 1.5 to 250 mm, depending on temperature and material.

I would like to express our appreciation regarding Cygnus’ support during a recent umbilical manufacturing verification project. Your customer service was exemplary and we are impressed by the legibility of the readout on the Mk5 gauge. On appraising Cygnus of the background to our requirement, the equipment was despatched and received the next day. Its ease of use means that we will certainly call upon you for any further such requirements. Thanks for your assistance.

Getting to grips with it, it’s had a little use I think it’s showing about 20hrs on the opening screen. I like the new style and display also like the wrist mount. Not used the data logging yet but I am sure I will. A pleasure to do business with you and I am sure I will be back again in the future.

We have purchase 4 pcs. of Cygnus 4+ UTG Kit and 1 pcs. of Cygnus 6+ UTG Kit. With these instruments we have check more that 3.000.000 points on coated steel pipe. Results were among expected. We are more than satisfied with equipment.
