Cygnus 2+ Hands Free

Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

The Cygnus 2+ is specifically designed for hands-free use by displaying measurements via an end-mounted screen. With three measuring modes, it measures the wall thickness of a variety of materials (including plastics) and metals of any level of corrosion and pitting.

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.

FEATURES
  • 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
  • End-Mounted display shows thickness measurements – ideal for rope access or climbing work
  • Front display enables easy gauge setup
  • Deep Coat function ignores coatings up to 20mm 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
  • Can be upgraded to 4+ or 6+ at an additional cost
