Probes:

CYGNUS PROBES AND CABLES

Stainless Steel INOX Single Crystal Probes
The INOX probes have an updated ergonomic design and an easier to read frequency, identification and serial numbering. All frequencies of INOX probes have a black face and a colour coding ring to identify probe frequency.
Used in Multiple-Echo mode, these probes require no zeroing, have a high linear accuracy, are ideal for general thickness gauging and on pipes and have replaceable wear membrane for long life.

Stainless Steel INOX Twin Crystal Probes
Used in Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes and focussed ultrasound beam with improved measurability on extreme back wall corrosion and pitting.

 

Probe Options
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 probes:
6 mm – 5 MHz (S5A)
13 mm – 2.25 MHz (S2C (standard)), 3.5 MHz (S3C) or 5 MHz (S5C)
19 mm – 2.25 MHz (S2D)
Twin crystal probes: 5 mm – 7.5 MHz (T7A)
8 mm – 5 MHz (T5B (standard))
12 mm – 2 MHz (T2C (for attenuative materials such as cast metals, plastics and composites))

Cygnus Cables

Using standard industry connectors the probe lead uses a custom made over moulded cable that offers superior flexibility and resistance to oils and ultraviolet light. The cable will not stiffen after exposure to ultraviolet light.

 

Options:

MULTI-MEASURING MODE
Multiple-Echo uses three back wall echoes and measures remaining metal thickness while ignoring coatings. All measurements are error checked using 3 return echoes to give repeatable, reliable results. Accepted by all major classification societies. Uses single crystal probes for linear accuracy (and no probe zero required).

Echo-Echo uses two back wall echoes and measures remaining metal thickness while ignoring coatings up to 0.04″ (1 mm) thick using twin crystal probes for improved detection of back wall corrosion and pitting.

Single-Echo uses one back wall echo, measures remaining metal thickness on uncoated surfaces and is possibly helpful for areas with extreme front face or back wall corrosion and pitting. Effective on highly attenuative materials such as cast metals, plastics and composites.

MSI™ (MEASUREMENT STABILITY INDICATOR)
This clever technique helps ensure only stable measurements are displayed in Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes. Displayed measurements change color from red to green and vibrate alert to indicate a stable reading.

FLEXIBLE HANDLING
Along with the wrist and neck straps supplied in the kit there is also an optional belt clip, offering a range of flexible handling solutions for all types of applications.
