Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge New Cygnus Underwater – is a professional-grade diver-held subsea measurement instrument designed for fast, accurate, and reliable ultrasonic wall thickness testing underwater. Engineered to thrive in harsh marine environments, this gauge is optimized for ship hull surveys, offshore structures, subsea pipelines, piers, jetties, and other submerged assets. With intuitive operation, a large visible display, and multiple measurement options, it ensures dependable performance even in low-visibility waters.
Key Features
- Diver-Held Design — Ergonomically crafted for ease of use by professional divers performing subsea thickness surveys.
- Large High-Visibility Display — Bright LCD screen maintains clear readability even in low-visibility underwater conditions.
- Multiple Ultrasonic Modes — Includes Multiple-Echo for measurements through coatings and corrosion, Echo-Echo and Single-Echo for tougher corrosion scenarios.
- Deep-Coat Capability — Accurately measures through protective coatings up to ~20 mm (0.8 in) thick, reducing the need for surface preparation.
- Live A-Scan Visualization — Enhances verification of measurement quality with waveform display during testing.
- Robust Underwater Durability — Designed for reliability in subsea conditions, typically rated to depths around 300 m (1,000 ft).
- Intuitive Operation — Simple control with a few function keys and a user-friendly menu makes underwater operation straightforward.
- Optional Data Logging — Supports automatic logging of stable measurements and storage of up to 5,000 thickness readings and A-Scans with Auto-Log technology.
- MSI™ Measurement Stability Indicator — Confirms the stability and reliability of measurements, especially in Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes.
- Accessory Support — Optional remote displays such as HelmetView™ and topside repeaters enhance diver safety and data review at the surface.
