Description

Detailed Overview

A premium, feature-rich data logging ultrasonic thickness gauge with a high-resolution display and a user-friendly menu structure. It performs accurate wall thickness measurement through coatings using the Multiple-Echo method. The device offers advanced reporting and data management capabilities for large-scale corrosion mapping projects, providing a complete audit trail of asset integrity.


A dedicated instrument for high-temperature and extreme environments with comprehensive data capture.

  • Designed to operate with high-temperature probes, this gauge allows for accurate, through-coating thickness measurement on hot components and pipework, minimizing process downtime.
  • It includes advanced features like comprehensive data logging and transfer capabilities via Bluetooth, and live A-scan/B-scan displays for visual verification of measurements.
  • The standard kit includes the gauge unit, a dedicated high-temperature probe and cable (optional), couplant, a data transfer cable, and a durable case.
  • The Multiple-Echo (ME) mode ignores the thickness of paint or protective coatings, providing only the true metal thickness.

Top Features & Benefits

  • Full range of measuring modes (Multi-Echo, Echo-Echo, Single-Echo) for varied applications.
  • Extensive data logging and reporting features with structured file management.
  • A-Scan and B-Scan display for waveform verification and cross-sectional viewing of the material.
  • Automatic probe recognition simplifies setup and ensures correct performance settings.
  • IP67 and MIL STD 810G rated for exceptional durability in harsh field environments.
  • Automatic Gain Control (AGC) for optimal signal quality across different materials.

Primary Uses & Functions

A high-specification ultrasonic gauge for accurate thickness measurement with multiple operating modes (Multiple-Echo, Echo-Echo, Single-Echo). Its primary function is corrosion and erosion assessment on critical assets, ensuring fitness-for-service compliance with documented evidence.


Real-World Applications

  • High-precision thickness measurement in demanding industrial environments, including testing on hot components.
  • Measurement on corroded metals and composites with high accuracy.
  • Inspection in Oil & Gas and Marine industries for integrity monitoring of pipelines, hulls, and pressure vessels.
  • Thickness verification of components with intact coatings (through-coating mode).

FAQ: Cygnus 6+ – Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

What is the key technology of the Cygnus 6+?

It utilizes the Multiple-Echo (ME) technique, which allows it to measure material thickness through paint or thick coatings while ignoring the coating thickness itself.

What is the main advantage of the Multiple-Echo technique?

It eliminates the need to remove coatings (like paint) for accurate measurement, saving significant time and reducing surface damage during corrosion inspection.

What is the “+ ” in the model name?

The “+” usually indicates that the gauge is also capable of Single-Echo (SE) and Echo-Echo (EE) modes in addition to the standard ME mode, providing versatility.
