A diver-held subsea ultrasonic thickness testing device designed for in water survey and underwater inspection in-lieu of drydocking, providing accurate and reliable through coating measurement.
Key features of the Cygnus Underwater ultrasonic thickness tester include:
- Multiple-Echo for accurate through-coat measurements, as specified by Classification Societies
- Deep Coat mode ignores coatings up to 20 mm thick (upon request)
- Heavy duty sealed unit with double O-ring protection
- Rugged, durable, shock-proof construction
- Easy and stable calibration – no zero adjustment
- Echo strength indicator to aid measurement
- Two rechargeable battery packs with charger
- APR (Auto-Probe Recognition)
- TSR (Topside Repeater) options:
Option A – Palm-held TSR or;
Option B – CygLink software for data logging and remote display.
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.
