    High Temperature Measurement

    Using the T5B-MAUH high temperature transducer, measurements can be taken on hot surfaces of up to 572°F.

    No cooling period is required – which can reduce inspection time and facilitate more effective measurement.

    Optional upgrade to braided cable.

     

    Comprehensive Data Logging

    • Linear, 2D grid and template data recording options
    • 16 grid patterns available
    • ‘Radial points’ can be added to any measurement to further investigate an area of interest or heavy corrosion
    • Auto-log feature
    • Saves measurements and corresponding wave forms / A-scans
    • Eight user-defined text comments to attach to any measurement point
    • Records stored on an SD card
    • Dedicated CygLink software used to transfer and manage data.

     

    Three Versatile Measuring Modes

    • Multiple-Echo mode uses three error checked back wall echoes to provide the most reliable and accurate remaining thickness measurements possible, with no need to remove coatings up to 0.8 inch thick
    • Single-Echo mode is ideal for measuring uncoated metals with heavy front and/or back-wall corrosion. Also effective on a range of cast metals, plastics and composites
    • Echo-Echo mode works best for measuring heavily corroded metals through thin coatings of up to 0.04 inch thick, ideal for measuring painted metals with heavy back wall corrosion.

     

    CygLink Computer Software

    CygLink is a Windows® based application used to both transfer and manage data logged records, their corresponding A-scans as well as measurement comments and material velocity tables. The program can generate PDF reports to present to a client and will also export data to Excel. Cyglink also displays A‑scans, allowing for after-the-event and off-site analysis of logged measurements.

    The latest version of CygLink software is available to download – from ‘Software Downloads’.

  • To compliment our ultrasonic thickness gauges we offer a range of ultrasonic transducers . The performance of any ultrasonic thickness gauge relies heavily on the transducer and its suitability to the material being measured. Therefore, selecting the right transducer is vital. All Cygnus’ transducers are made from stainless steel and have a hard wear face or a wear membrane to protect the transducer.

    Variety of Cygnus INOX Transducers

    • Stainless steel SINGLE CRYSTAL transducers, used in multiple-echo mode, include replaceable membranes for long life, require no zeroing and have a high linear accuracy.
    • Stainless steel TWIN CRYSTAL transducers, used in echo-echo and single-echo modes, have improved measurability on extreme back wall corrosion and pitting.
    • Transducers for use with the Cygnus 2+, 4, 4+ and 6+ gauges are fitted with a BNC or Lemo 00 connector.

    Single Crystal Transducers

     

    Twin Crystal Transducers

     

    High Temperature Transducer

    Twin element ultrasonic transducer designed for high-temperature, in-service thickness measurements and corrosion surveys across oil & gas, refining, energy and process sectors.

    • No cooling period required – reducing inspection time and facilitating effective measurement
    • For use on hot surfaces up to 572°F
    • Measures remaining wall thickness from 0.05 to 9.8 inch – depending on temperature and material.
