Cygnus 2+ Thickness Gauge

STOCK CODE NCG0147

The Cygnus 2+ is the advanced version of the Hands Free model, incorporating three measuring modes to measure the wall thickness of a variety of materials (including plastics) and metals of any level of corrosion and pitting.
Ideal for use in rope access, hull UTM inspection, civil engineering, marine structures, structural integrity inspection via rope access or climbing, heavily corroded metals with front/back wall pitting, irregular geometric shapes, attenuative materials and ship surveys.

**Errors and omissions excepted (E&OE)

Key Features of the Cygnus 2+ Hands-Free UTG

  • Multiple-Echo mode for accurate, through-coat measurements as specified by Classification Societies
  • Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes for heavily corroded metals with a thin or no coating
  • Hands free operation: wrist, waist belt and harness mountable
  • Deep Coat function ignores coatings up to 20 mm (0.8 inch) thick
  • MSI™ (Measurement Stability Indicator) verifies stable, reliable readings
  • Intuitive easy to use menu
  • Extremely rugged enclosure – shock and impact proof to US MIL STD 810G
  • Environmental sealing (water and dust proof) to IP67 – US MIL STD 810G.
  • Uses single and twin crystal probes
  • One and two point calibration.

 

Three Versatile Measuring Modes

  • Multiple-Echo mode uses three error checked back wall echoes to provide the most reliable and accurate remaining thickness measurements, with no need to remove coatings (up to 20 mm thick (0.8 inch))
  • Single-Echo mode is ideal for measuring uncoated metals with heavy front and/or back-wall corrosion. Also effective on a range of cast metals, plastics and composites
  • Echo-Echo mode works best for measuring heavily corroded metals through thin coatings of up to 1 mm (0.04 inch) thick, ideal for measuring painted metals with heavy back wall corrosion.

 

Measurement Stability Indicator (MSI™)

Exclusive to Cygnus, MSI™ ensures stable and therefore reliable measurements are displayed in Echo‑Echo and Single-Echo modes.

  • Multiple-Echo for reliable, accurate through coating measurements as specified by Classification Societies
  • Single-Echo and Echo-Echo measuring modes with twin crystal probes for extreme corrosion and back wall pitting
  • MSI™ (Measurement Stability Indicator) used in Single-Echo and Echo-Echo measurement modes
  • Hands free operation: wrist, waist belt and harness mountable
  • A NEW high durability LCD rotatable display for all lighting conditions
  • Extremely rugged enclosure – shock and impact to US MIL STD 810G
  • Environmental sealing to IP67 – US MIL STD 810G
  • Cygnus echo strength bars to assist quick measurements
  • Buttons integral with the TPE moulding and designed for minimum 100,000 depressions.
