Perfect Duo for Tackling Corrosion & Leakage
Cygnus 1 Ex for Corrosion Inspection
Storage tanks and pipelines exposed to fluids, chemicals, or heat are highly prone to corrosion. Protective coatings help mitigate damage but complicate inspection. Cygnus Surface Range Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges (UTGs) overcome this by reading through coatings up to 20mm thick, eliminating the need to remove epoxy or anti-corrosive layers. With single- and twin-crystal probes, Cygnus gauges suit varying corrosion levels and materials.
For industries handling hazardous materials, safety is critical. The Cygnus 1 Ex ultrasonic thickness gauge is certified Intrinsically Safe for ATEX, IECEx, and UKEX Zone 0—the most dangerous classification—and designed for use in Gas Zones 0, 1, and 2. Its IS design allows safe testing in explosive atmospheres without Hot Work Permits or plant shutdowns, making it ideal for asset integrity maintenance. Advanced features include data logging for streamlined reporting and Manual Measurement Mode, enabling users to adjust gates and gain for complex applications.
Hatch Sure for Tightness and Leakage Testing
Structural integrity of storage facilities can deteriorate over time, leading to seal fatigue and leakage. The Cygnus Hatch Sure Ultrasonic Tightness Tester offers an eco-friendly, efficient alternative to traditional hose or visual testing. Its transmitter houses 19 ultrasound emitters (40 kHz) with six adjustable power levels, suitable for confined spaces and varied test areas. Lightweight and portable, it comes with a rucksack-style case and straps for hands-free use.
Designed for simple one-man operation, Hatch Sure requires minimal training to test watertight doors, closing appliances, and storage facilities quickly and effectively. Inspections can be performed without clearing spaces, enabling regular monitoring and preventing costly repairs.
