Taking Measurements

Ultrasonic Probes

The performance of any thickness gauge and its ability to get a reliable
measurement depends on selecting the right ultrasonic probe for the application
and conditions. The Cygnus 1 Ex gauge is therefore offered with a selection of
probes suitable for most thickness gauging applications.
The following section helps you select the right probe for the application.
The gauge must be set for the probe connected to it, see Setting the
Probe Type on page 48.
