Cygnus

The Cygnus 4 is a versatile through coating thickness gauge that can measure remaining metal thickness on corroded and coated structures. It is light, rugged, small, shock-proof, and has an IP65 & IP67 sealed aluminum enclosure. It uses multiple echo single crystal probe technology to measure through thick coatings and displays only the remaining metal thickness. It is ideal for use on flat surfaces or pipes and greatly reduces inspection time and costs for applications like ships, storage tanks, and pipelines. The Cygnus 4 offers accurate measurements in a variety of materials with different probe options and a simple gauge operation within a durable design.

Benefits of Cygnus Multiple Echo


Measures remaining metal thickness on corroded and coated structures All measurements are error checked using 3 return echoes to give repeatable, reliable results Accepted by all major classification societies Greatly reduces inspection time and costs Echo strength indicator to aid measurement

With multiple echo, readings are taken by measuring the time delay between any three consecutive backwall echos. The time of T1(coating thickness) is ignored. The times of T2 and T3 are equal to the time that it takes to travel through the metal. Only by looking at three echoes can the measurements be automatically verified (where T2 = T3).

Applications
Maintenance and safety checks of metal thickness for: Ships Storage tanks Pipelines Bridges Street lighting columns LPG vessels Road transport tankers Offshore platforms Piers, jetties and pilings Processing vessels Cranes plus many more
