  • Metal thickness / wear checks on anchor chains, jetties, dock gates, piers and pilings.
  • Ships classification surveys.
  • Maintenance and safety checks on bridges.
 Advantages
  • Coatings do not have to be removed - measures only the metal thickness.
  • Accepted by major classification societies.
  • No grinding - minimum surface prep.
  • Measures on rough corroded surfaces.
  • Speed, accuracy and reliability.
  • No false readings - repeatable results.
  • Easy to use - minimum operator training.
  • Greatly reduced inspection time & cost.
  • Measures on metals and some other materials.


 

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.

Topside Repeater Options

The topside repeater is available in case of poor visibility or when the readings need to be verified on the surface. Umbilical cable length is specified by the customer up to a maximum of 1000 m. Three options are available:

  • Option APalm-held surface display repeater with large liquid crystal display in an IP65 sealed case.
     

  • Option B
    Windows based software for datalogging and remote display. The umbilical is connected to the serial port of a PC (PC not included). 

  • Option C = Options A + B 
    All Cygnus Underwater gauges with Topside Repeater Connectors can be upgraded to Option A, B or C.
