Dynaforce Underwater Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

£3,150.00

With its bright, very large, AMOLED display the Cygnus DIVE is simple to operate, providing accurate and reliable thickness measurements. Depth rated to 300 metres.

Available with data logging, topside, HelmetView™ and twin crystal probe options.

MSI™ Measurement Stability Indicator – this is a feature exclusive to the Cygnus. When using the DIVE Gage in Single Echo mode, MSI™ confirms when a reading is stable by turning the thickness measurement numbers from red to yellow.

Benefits of Cygnus Multiple Echo

Measures remaining metal thickness of 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 echoes. 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).

Key Features

Wrist-mountable giving the diver a free hand
Large, bright color AMOLED display, highly viewable by diver and camera in poor visibility
A-Scan display to assist with measurement verification
Auto-Log Data Logging – option, no log button to press – stores up to 5,000 measurements with A-Scans
Multiple Echo means no need to remove protective coatings up to 20 mm (0.787″) thick
Error-checked Multiple Echo measurements to ensure genuine, verified measurements are displayed
Deep Coat mode to measure through coatings up to 20 mm (0.787″) thick
Single Echo mode with Twin Crystal probes
Probes are connected to the DIVE with a coiled double jacket cable which will extend up to 1 meter (3 ft)
Pressure tested to 300 meters (1,000 ft)
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery giving up to 11 hours continuous operation.
