Multiple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
Overview
Specifically designed for underwater remotely operated vehicles, Cygnus offers a dedicated ROV Mountable thickness gauge, depth rated to 2,000 m (6,562 ft). This mountable measurement gauge again, benefits from the multiple-echo technology found in all our ultrasonic measuring devices. It is truly versatile and designed to measure metal thickness through coatings in the harshest operating conditions.
Dedicated software reveals the date, time and thickness readings on the surface which may be logged or stored. In addition, a Topside Repeater (TSR) is available providing the ability to present the thickness measurements remotely and overlay them on to a video signal. This permits the measurements to be superimposed on the ROV camera’s monitor screen.
Cygnus Instruments builds all of its equipment in the UK using only genuine and original parts and components – including Lemo® Connectors and Peli® Cases.
