Ultrasonic Digital Thickness Gauge, Heavy Duty, Model 1 by Cygnus

Farwest is a reseller for the Cygnus line of ultrasonic thickness gauges.

Heavy duty metal wall digital thickness gauge for use indoors or outdoors. Measures remaining metal thickness without removing surface coatings.

Description

Description

Cygnus Instruments have designed the Cygnus Heavy Duty ultrasonic thickness gage for use in tough and demanding environments where a rugged construction is essential to accurately gage corrosion measurement and determine metal thickness without having to removing protective coatings.

The Cygnus Heavy Duty is dirt resistant, dust resistant and water resistant. Its shock-proof construction takes into account the unstable environments in which corrosion thickness measurements and structural inspections are performed, resulting in a metal thickness gage that is able to withstand accidental drops, bangs and knocks.

Features

Heavy duty sealed unit - highly water and dust resistant
Rugged construction - shock proof
Stable calibration - linear accuracy - no zero adjustment
Self verification of the measurements to ensure accuracy
Various probe options
Displays sound velocity settings
Echo strength indicator to aid measurement
Bright LED display with polarised filter
Gauge senses probe type and automatically adjusts settings for optimum performance
Low battery warning
Metric / Imperial switchable
Deep-Coat mode for coatings up to 20 mm (3/4") thick.

Options

For optimum performance of the ultrasonic thickness gauge it is essential to utilise the appropriate probe for the specific material being tested. Here below are the probe options available.

Single crystal soft-faced compression
6 mm - 5 MHz
13 mm - 2.25, 3.5 or 5 MHz
19 mm - 2.25 MHz

Kit

Instrument, heavy duty remote 2.25 MHz x 13 mm (1/2") diameter probe, battery pack, spare membranes and ‘O’ rings, steel test block, calibration trim tool, operational manual and carry case.

Applications

Applications

Maintenance and safety checks of metal thickness for:

Metal thickness monitoring on cranes, marine structures and conveying systems
Corrosion checks on ships’ shell plates, bulkheads and structure
Metal thickness safety checks on steam and pressurised water systems, transportable gas containers and compressed air systems
Systematic wall thickness and corrosion monitoring of storage tanks and process vessels
Quality assurance metal thickness checks
Maintenance and safety checks on bridges and street lighting columns
Pipeline wall thickness monitoring.

With multiple echo, readings are taken by measuring the time delay between any three consecutive backwall echos. 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).

Benefits

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.
