  • An Intrinsically Safe Ex gage, designed for taking reliable thickness measurements in all hazardous gas Zones (0, 1 & 2), coal mines and combustible dust Zones (21, 22). The Cygnus 1 Ex Ultrasonic Thickness Gage is a rugged, handheld, intrinsically safe instrument designed for taking reliable thickness measurements in Zone 0 Explosive Atmospheres – making it ideal for use in fuel depots, road and vessel tankers, mines, chemical plants, oil and gas, refineries, pipelines, hazardous storage tanks and other hazardous environments. This intrinsically Safe UTG is also certified for safe use in combustible dust Zones (21, 22), such as flour mills, sugar plants, and wood manufacturing. 

    Key features of the Cygnus 1 Ex advance intrinsically safe ultrasonic thickness gage:

    • Certified to ATEX, IECEx, UKEX for use in all hazardous gas Zones (0, 1, 2), coal mines and combustible dust Zones (21, 22)
    • Intrinsic Safety protection – No need for hot work permits
    • Continuous measurement on hot assets in-service, using the Cygnus High Temperature Ex Probe
    • 3 measuring modes for levels of corrosion, various materials and through-coat measurements
    • Advanced Data Logging (Linear, 2D/3D, Templates) with A-scan and Auto-Log feature
    • Radial Points allow further investigation AROUND a measurement spot/area of interest, e.g. heavy corrosion
