CYGNUS INSTRUMENTS LTD - Reliable Ultrasonic Measurement

Specifically designed for divers undertaking ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) of underwater structures. The Cygnus Underwater diver-held ultrasonic thickness gauge has been built to withstand harsh subsea environments while providing quick and accurate metal thickness measurements through coatings or heavy corrosion. This diver-held thickness gauge is simple to operate using 3 function keys, an intuitive menu and a large LCD display – highly visible, even in low-visibility waters.

Designed for taking reliable thickness measurements in Zone 0 Explosive Atmospheres, the Cygnus 1 Ex is certified intrinsically safe to ATEX, IECEx, UKEX for Zone 0 and NRTL for Class 1, Division 1. The Cygnus 1 Ex boasts advanced data logging, manual measurement mode, features a large colour LCD display and offers 3 measuring modes for through-coat measurements and various materials - including heavily corroded metals.

Designed for underwater remotely operated vehicles, offering a dedicated ROV mountable thickness gauge (depth rated to 3,000m) with live A-scan and piezo-composite probe. This gauge is versatile and designed to measure metal thickness in the harshest subsea operating conditions. KEY FEATURES: - A-scan to assist with measurement verification visually - Multiple-Echo and Echo-Echo modes for accurate measurements through coatings (up to 1 mm) as specified by Classification Societies - Single-Echo mode for heavily corroded metals with no coating - Use the Auto Single-Echo/Echo-Echo/Multiple-Echo measuring mode for best results or set manually - Supplied with CygLink software to display and process measurements on a computer at the surface - High-performance SD2C probe fitted with a Hard Rexolite Delay line - Easy calibration and measurement settings via CygLink software at the surface - P50 Probe Handler cleverly-designed to self-align with pipes from 50mm diameters to flat surfaces.

Combining intelligent, advanced software and electronics with a truly simple to use interface, the Cygnus Flooded Member Detector (FMD) is an easy to use, cost effective and reliable system. The FMD system comprises three fundamental parts the probe and probe handler, the subsea electronics unit and the reporting software. The probe handler selfaligns and ensures correct contact with the member, even when approached from an angle. The subsea electronics unit is available in high grade acetal or stainless steel for the harshest environments. The reporting software displays a simple DRY or FLOODED result and Ascans for verification; and logs results for offline analysis or reports exported as PDF or Excel. As with all Cygnus ultrasonic testing equipment, the FMD is extremely easy to learn and understand, and can be used by a range of operators with varying experience.

As the top of the surface thickness measurement instruments range, the Cygnus 6+ digital thickness gauge has a bright colour LCD display AND an endmounted rotatable LCD display, and is Cygnus’ most advanced material thickness gauge. This unit offers a range of key features for the professional user, such as Ascan and Bscan displays to help verify readings while MSI™ indicates stable readings; comprehensive data logging with three available formats; enabling hasslefree reporting and analysis; manual and automatic gain control; Bluetooth connectivity; plus much more. As well as the multipleecho measuring mode for accurate and reliable measurements through coatings up to 20 mm thick, this unit also uses singleecho and echoecho modes for extreme corrosion and back wall pitting. s 6+ PRO is an excellent choice when looking for a NDT thickness gauge.

Designed for most industrial or shipping inspection applications, the Cygnus 4+ ultrasonic thickness tester offers features such as Ascan display to help verify readings; simple to use sequential data logging with hasslefree reporting and analysis; and manual & automatic gain control. As well as using the multipleecho technique for accurate and reliable measurements through coatings up to 20 mm thick, this ultrasonic thickness meter also uses singleecho and echoecho measuring modes and a verity of portable UTM probes for extreme corrosion and back wall pitting. Offering maximum strength (US MIL STD 810G) and environmental protection (IP67), this UT thickness gauge is a must for any inspector carrying out asset integrity maintenance or NDT work.

The Cygnus 2+ metal thickness gauge has an endmounted rotatable display designed for rope access work, providing a safer environment when working at height. As with all Cygnus thickness measurement instruments, the Cygnus 2+ uses the multipleecho mode for measuring through thick coatings (up to 20 mm thick in Deep Coat mode). As well as this, the Cygnus 2+ thickness gauge also incorporates the singleecho mode for measurements on uncoated surfaces with heavy front face and/or backwall corrosion, and the echoecho mode for measurements on painted metals with heavy back wall corrosion and pitting using a variety of portable UTM probes. Offering maximum strength and environmental protection, the Cygnus 2+ metal thickness tester is certified to stringent US MIL STD 810G standard and IP67.

The Cygnus 4 General Purpose ultrasonic thickness gauge is ideal for most industrial, shipping and structural inspection applications. The unit is extremely userfriendly thanks to its simple to use keypad, intuitive menus and a colour LCD display which can be viewed in all lighting conditions. Using the trusted Cygnus multipleecho technique, the Cygnus 4 ultrasonic thickness gage is used for measuring metal thickness through paint (up to 20 mm thick) providing an ultrasonic thickness measurement that is accurate and reliable. Certified to US MIL STD 810G standard, this throughcoating ultrasonic thickness gauge offers maximum strength and environmental protection (IP67).

Cygnus DIVE is a wristmountable underwater ultrasonic thickness meter that has been designed for the professional diver and can be worn on the forearm, providing an invaluable free hand whilst performing an in water survey (IWS). It has a large bright display for easy viewing from all angles, by the diver and his camera/surface crew, even in poor visibility. Cygnus DIVE also hosts an array of other key features, such as Ascan to help verify measurements; data logging that enables hasslefree reporting and analysis; MSI™ to verify stable measurements; and AutoLog for automatically logging measurements without having to press any buttons. The Cygnus DIVE uses the multipleecho technique (approved by Class Societies) for accurate, reliable thickness measurements through coatings up to 20mm thick. This unit also incorporates singleecho and echoecho modes used for extreme corrosion and pitting, making it one of the most versatile underwater thickness gauges on the market.

Within the thickness measurement instruments range is the Cygnus Mini ROV Mountable ut thickness gauge. This gauge is pressure tested to 500m and designed to be mounted onto small observation ROVs with or without a manipulator facility, allowing the operator to carry out thickness measurements in areas that have previously been unfeasible using large ROVs or divers. Supplied with CygLink software to display and log thickness measurements from the ROV metal thickness tester to a computer at the surface which can then be saved to a file and printed out. CygLink has two data logging facilities Quick Log for simple recording of thickness measurements and Structured mode with four templates available. The Cygnus Top Side Repeater (TSR) is available as an option and has the facility to display the thickness measurements remotely and overlay them on to a video signal. This allows the measurements to be superimposed on the ROV camera’s monitor screen.
