Benefits
-
 Multiple-echo,
single-crystal Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge.
- Coatings
do not have to be removed - measures only the metal thickness.
- Accepted by major classification
societies.
- No grinding - minimum surface
preparation.
- Measures on rough corroded
surfaces.
- Speed, accuracy and reliability.
- No false readings - repeatable
results.
- Easy to use - minimum operator
training.
- Greatly reduced inspection time
and cost.
- Measures on metals and some
other materials.

Applications
-
 Maintenance and safety checks on
petroleum, chemical and LPG storage tanks.
- Corrosion checks on ships' shell
plates, bulkheads and inside enclosed areas.
- Metal thickness safety checks on
steam and pressurized water systems, transportable gas
containers and compressed air systems.
- Systematic wall thickness and
corrosion monitoring of storage tanks and process vessels.
- Quality assurance metal
thickness checks.
- Metal thickness monitoring on
cranes, marine structures and conveying systems.
- Pipeline wall thickness
monitoring.

Cygnus
Multiple Echo Technology
With
multiple echo technology, readings are taken by
measuring the time delay between any three consecutive
backwall echoes. The time T1 (for coating thickness) is
ignored. The times T2 and T3 are equal to the time that
it takes for sound to travel through the metal. Only by
looking at three echoes can the measurements be made for
the metal thickness, where T2 = T3. |
