Cygnus 2 Thickness Gauge
The Cygnus 2
handheld, battery-powered instrument designed for high-reliability
thickness measurements in harsh environments using ultrasound.
The gauge can be used with a choice of Ultrasonic Probes, selected
to suit the material and thickness range to be measured.
The gauge can measure material thickness using three methods;
Single Echo, Echo-Echo or Multiple Echo. Echo-Echo and Multiple
Echo allow measurements through surface coatings which are
ignored.
Measurements can be displayed in either Metric (mm) or in
Imperial (inch) units. The gauge has an end–mounted OLED
(Organic LED) graphic display which can be easily read in most
light situations.
The gauge can easily be calibrated to a known thickness or to a
known Velocity of Sound.
The gauge is able to operate accurately over a wide range of
ambient temperatures and is environmentally sealed to IP67 for
use in wet conditions.
The gauge is a solid-state electronic instrument which, under
normal operating conditions, will give many years of active
service.
Although designed for ease of operation the first time user
should carefully read this manual to familiarise themselves
with the features of the Gauge.
