    Company Description
    Cygnus Instruments manufacture the Multiple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge to measure metal thicknesses through coatings and bad corrosion. Reliable, consistent and accurate measurements are obtained and automatically verified using 'back wall echoes'. Models include the Intrinsically Safe, Underwater, Standard and Heavy Duty versions and a Datalogger gauge. No gauge zeroing is required and no erroneous readings are displayed. The Multiple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gage is now the specified method of measurement by Class Societies, e.g. Lloyds, DNV etc. and is used on ships, cranes, pipelines for wall thickness measurement, portable gas containers, lighting columns, storage tanks and process vessels for corrosion monitoring and Quality Assurance metal thickness checks. A Coating Thickness Gauge for ferrous and non-ferrous substrates is also available. Cygnus Instruments Ltd, founded in 1983, was the pioneer and originator of the multiple echo technique. All Cygnus gauges use the multiple echo technique to ensure accurate, error checked readings without having to remove protective coatings. All of our gauges are designed to be robust and simple to use. The Cygnus range includes a Heavy duty model designed to withstand extremely severe environments; Intrinsically Safe model (explosion proof) certified to Ex II 1G EEx ia IIC T6 and CSA Class 1 Group A Division1; Underwater model with optional topside display/datalogging facilities; Cygnus 2 with the end-mounted LED display which can be worn around the waist or clipped to a harness for rope access applications; Cygnus 4 with LCD backlit display for easy viewing in all light conditions; comprehensive Datalogger with the capability to log multi-point structures; ROV mountable series dedicated to sub-sea ROV applications. To provide a full service, Cygnus Instruments also has a dedicated NDT Sales division offering NDT equipment manufactured by other leading NDT companies. We specialise in export and provide a 'one stop shop' solution for all your NDT equipment requirements. Cygnus Instruments is an ISO9001:2000 accredited company and an authorized distributor of GE products.
