Surface Thickness Gauges
Cygnus 1 Ex
Advanced Intrinsically Safe UTG
An Intrinsically Safe Ex gauge, designed for taking reliable thickness measurements in all hazardous gas Zones (0, 1 & 2), coal mines and combustible dust Zones (21, 22). No need for hot work permits. 3 measuring modes enable through-coat measurements for various materials and heavily corroded metals. Available with advanced data logging and manual measurement mode.
Three Selectable 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 20mm/0.8 in thick).
Single-Echo mode is ideal for measuring uncoated metals with heavy front and/or back-wall corrosion. Also effective on many cast metals, plastics and composites.
Echo-Echo mode works best for measuring heavily corroded metals through thin coatings of up to 1mm/0.04in thick, ideal for measuring painted metals with heavy back wall corrosion.
Exclusive to Cygnus, Measurement Stability Indicator (MSI) ensures stable and therefore reliable measurements are displayed in Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes.
