Cygnus 2+ Hands Free Ultrasonic Thickness Meter & Probe

$0.00

The 2+ is a simple, versatile thickness meter designed for “hands free” operation; the unit employs an end-mounted display and three distinct measuring modes to measure the wall thickness of a variety of metals of any level of corrosion and pitting. This meter can also be used on a wide range of engineering materials such as plastics/HDPE etc.

To compliment Cygnus' ultrasonic thickness gauges, Cygnus offers a range of ultrasonic transducers. The performance of any ultrasonic thickness gauge relies heavily on the transducer and its suitability to the material being measured. Therefore, selecting the right transducer is vital. All Cygnus’ transducers are made from stainless steel and have a hard wear face or a wear membrane to protect the transducer.

Features

  • Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes for heavily corroded metals.

  • Multiple-Echo mode for the most accurate, through-coat measurements (as specified by Classification Societies).

  • Uses both single and twin crystal transducers.

  • Deep Coat function ignores coatings up to 0.8 in. (20 mm) thick.

  • “Hands-free operation”: wrist, waist belt and harness mountable.

  • MSI™ (Measurement Stability Indicator) verifies stable, reliable readings.

  • Simple to use menu.

  • Environmental sealing (water and dustproof) to IP67 – US MIL STD 810G

  • Highly ruggedized enclosure – shock and impact proof to US MIL STD 810G

  • One and two point calibration

  • Can be upgraded to 4+ or 6+ at an additional cost. 

 

Three Versatile Measuring Modes

  • Multiple-Echo mode uses three (error-checked) back wall echoes to provide the most reliable and accurate remaining thickness measurements. Multiple echo automatically measures through coatings up to 0.8 in. (20 mm)

  • Echo-Echo mode works best for measuring heavily corroded metals through thin coatings of up to 0.04 in. thick, and is ideal for measuring painted metals with heavy back wall corrosion.

  • Single-Echo mode is ideal for measuring uncoated metals with heavy front and/or back-wall corrosion. This mode is also effective on a range of cast metals, plastics and composites.

  • Measurement Stability Indicator (MSI™)

  • Exclusive to Cygnus, MSI™ ensures that stable and reliable measurements are displayed in Echo‑Echo and Single-Echo modes.
