Leading UK manufacturer of Ultrasonic thickness gauges, Cygnus Instruments, has introduced the brand new Cygnus 2 “Hands Free”.
The Cygnus 2 has long been a standard in the marine and rope access industries across the world. The company’s reputation is built on reliable products, engineered to withstand harsh environments. As such, all Cygnus products are robust and versatile. Cygnus 2 gauges are employed in oil & gas, pipelines, offshore, road tankers, civil engineering, storage tanks and many more plant maintenance and NDT industries.
Developed with the Cygnus-pioneered digital multiple echo technique, the new Cygnus 2 ignores protective coatings and only gives true, repeatable measurements. Before a measurement is displayed the instrument checks that the return echoes are perfectly matched. This method of error-checking eliminates unverified, spurious readings, even on heavy corrosion.
The new Cygnus 2 is a total redesign. It is far smaller, lighter (275 g inc. batteries), tougher and water resistant (IP65). Now with automatic gain control, automatic probe recognition and automatic display brightness, it is even simpler to use!
Either worn on the waist, around the neck or clipped to a harness, the tough new Cygnus 2 is supplied in a silicone sleeve to offer maximum protection, versatility and comfort.
Simple keypad operation facilitates calibration for the material under inspection – either against a known thickness or velocity of sound. Once set, calibration is stable with no zero adjustment required.
Designed and built under the new BS EN 15317 2007, the new Cygnus 2 is also RoHs compliant (free of environmentally hazardous substances).
