Cygnus Instruments Ltd
Experts’ Top Choice for Reliable Corrosion Inspection
Cygnus Instruments: Leaders in Ultrasonic Testing
Cygnus Instruments, based in the UK, is a global leader in digital ultrasonic testing equipment, trusted for ease-of-use, reliability, and accuracy in corrosion inspection. Corrosion poses a serious threat to structural integrity, often accelerated by harsh substances. Protective coatings help mitigate damage but complicate inspection. Cygnus’ Multiple-Echo technology solves this by measuring through coatings up to 20mm thick, saving time and cost by avoiding removal.
Cygnus 6+ PRO – Advanced Surface Gauge
The Cygnus 6+ PRO is the most advanced model in the Surface Range. Lightweight, compact, shatter-proof, and IP67 water-resistant, it is ideal for challenging environments. Its design supports inspections in confined spaces where access is limited, with flexible probe options enabling one-sided measurements.
User-Friendly and Professional Features
A large LCD colour display and intuitive menu make the device simple to operate with minimal training. Three versatile measuring modes handle varying corrosion and coating thicknesses, while the Measurement Stability Indicator (MSI) ensures reliable readings. Professional users benefit from live A-scan and B-scan displays, offering visual verification and manual adjustment for precision.
Enhanced Corrosion Analysis
The B-scan function provides continuous thickness measurements displayed as a material cross-section. Advanced data logging includes Radial Points, allowing up to 12 measurements around a central point for detailed analysis. Auto-log functionality reduces human error, while Bluetooth and cable connectivity enable seamless data transfer to Windows® computers for reporting.
Global Support and Reliability
All Cygnus gauges are robust, easy to use, and backed by a three-year warranty. With a worldwide network of offices, distributors, and service centres, Cygnus ensures excellent customer service and support wherever inspections are needed.
