Cygnus Instruments have designed the Cygnus Heavy Duty ultrasonic thickness gage for use in tough and demanding environments where a rugged construction is essential to accurately gage corrosion measurement and determine metal thickness without having to removing protective coatings.
The Cygnus Heavy Duty is dirt resistant, dust resistant and water resistant. Its shock-proof construction takes into account the unstable environments in which corrosion thickness measurements and structural inspections are performed, resulting in a metal thickness gage that is able to withstand accidental drops, bangs and knocks.
For optimum performance of the ultrasonic thickness gauge it is essential to utilise the appropriate probe for the specific material being tested. Here below are the probe options available.
Single crystal soft-faced compression
6 mm - 5 MHz
13 mm - 2.25, 3.5 or 5 MHz
19 mm - 2.25 MHz
Applications
Maintenance and safety checks of metal thickness for:
With multiple echo, readings are taken by measuring the time delay between any three consecutive backwall echos. The time of T1 (coating thickness) is ignored. The times of T2 and T3 are equal to the time that it takes to travel through the metal. Only by looking at three echoes can the measurements be automatically verified (where T2 = T3).
