Description
Key Feature of the Cygnus Underwater Ultrasonic Thickness Meter
- Multiple-Echo mode for accurate, through-coat measurements as specified by Classification Societies
- Deep Coat mode ignores coatings up to 0.8 inch thick (upon request)
- Heavy duty sealed unit with double ‘O’ ring protection
- Rugged, durable, shock-proof construction
- Easy & stable calibration – no zero adjustment
- Echo strength indicator to aid measurement
- Two rechargeable battery packs with charger
- Auto-Probe Recognition (APR).
- Topside Repeater options:
Option A – Palm-held Topside Repeater (TSR) or;
Option B – CygLink software (Windows based) for data logging and remote display.
Cygnus-Pioneered Multiple Echo Technique
- 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.
