ROV Gauges & Handlers
Cygnus ROV
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
Specifically designed for underwater remotely operated vehicles, Cygnus offers a dedicated ROV mountable thickness gauge, ROV MK5 UTG Kit (depth rated to 500 meters (1,640 ft)). This gauge is versatile and designed to measure metal thickness in the harshest subsea operating conditions – without the need to remove coatings.
OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES
Engineered Probe Handling Solutions
Constructed from 316 stainless steel throughout, the W1 probe handler can be held by a manipulator arm and is ideal for use on Work Class ROVs. The Cygnus S1 and G1 Probe Handlers are developed for use on inspection, observation or light work-class ROVs.
Topside Repeater Remote Display Unit
The Cygnus Topside Repeater is a remote display unit connected to the gauge with an umbilical cable. It displays the thickness measurements at the surface in real-time during the survey.
Topside Repeater with Video Overlay
The Topside Repeater can also overlay the real-time thickness measurements on to a composite video signal, displaying it on the survey monitor screen. It will also then be recorded (if there is a video of the survey), showing exact locations and the thickness measurement for future reference.
FEATURES
- Multiple-Echo mode for accurate, through-coat measurements as specified by Classification Societies
- Supplied with CygLink software to display and process measurements on a computer at the surface
- Selectable Deep-Coat mode ignoring coatings up to 20mm (3/4”) thick
- Fitted with a safety Pressure Relief Valve and Securing Eye
- Easy calibration at the surface via CygLink software or TopSide Repeater (TSR) unit
- Removable end plate for full serviceability
- Wet mateable ‘MC’ style underwater connectors.
- Optional Topside Repeater (TSR) unit allowing readings to be displayed remotely and superimposed onto ROV’s camera screen
- Optional purpose-built ROV probe handlers for optimal alignment
