Cygnus Mini ROV Mountable Ultrasonic Thickness Tester

For mounting onto small observation remote operated vehicles, this ultrasonic thickness tester allows operators to carry out ROV inspection, repair and maintenance work in areas that would have otherwise been unsafe for divers or impossible using larger ROVs. And as with all Cygnus metal thickness testers, the Mini ROV ultrasonic thickness tester uses the Multiple-Echo technique for accurate and self-verified readings without having to remove protective coatings.

Key features of the Cygnus Mini ROV Mountable ultrasonic thickness tester include:

• Multiple-Echo for accurate through-coat measurements, as specified by Classification Societies
• Supplied with CygLink to display and process measurements on a computer at the surface
• Easy calibration at the surface via CygLink or Topside Repeater (TSR) unit
• Optional TSR unit allowing readings to be displayed remotely and superimposed onto ROV’s camera screen
• Optional purpose-built ROV probe handlers for optimal alignment.

Key benefits of the Cygnus pioneered Multiple-Echo technique include:

• 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.

CygLink Software

CygLink is a Windows® application that allows remote viewing, control and data logging of the Mini ROV IRM (inspection, repair and maintenance) tester. The software can generate survey reports in PDF or export to a CSV file. Designed for Windows® 7 and above.
