CYGNUS INSTRUMENTS LTD - Reliable Ultrasonic Measurement

Cygnus ROV Mountable ultrasonic thickness gage is depth rated to 500m and designed to operate in the harshest operating conditions, ideally suited for asset integrity inspections and pipeline inspections using ROV. Dedicated software displays and logs thickness measurements from the ROV UTG on to a computer at the surface. The Cygnus Topside Repeater (TSR) is available as an option and has the facility to display the thickness measurements remotely and overlay them on to a video signal. This allows the measurements to be superimposed on the ROV camera’s monitor screen. Supplied with CygLink software to display and log thickness measurements from the ROV wall thickness gauge on a computer at the surface which can be saved to a file and printed out. CygLink has two data logging facilities Quick Log for simple recording of thickness measurements and Structured mode with four templates available Single Point, Multi Point, Grid Point and Key Point.

Cygnus ultrasonic hatch cover weathertightness tester has been ABS type approved and accepted by P & I clubs. This ultrasonic hatch cover testing device is used to perform quick and effective evaluation of cargo hold hatch covers and door seals to determine water leaks and weathertightness. This ultrasonic leak detection system allows inspections to be carried out with cargo in place or in subzero temeprature, replacing traditional and unreliable methods such as hose testing. The Cygnus Hatch Sure system comprises of 2 parts a battery powered transmitter containing 19 ultrasound emitters (40 kHz) which are arranged to produce an omnidirectional sound field uniformly distributed throughout the cargo hold; and a receiver which displays the sound energy level that passes through gaps in the enclosed cargo hold to enable the location of leaks to be quickly and accurately identified.

Being the industry standard for undertaking subsea thickness measurements for over 3 decades, the Cygnus Underwater is a trusted underwater ultrasonic thickness gauge within the marine industry worldwide and has been used for underwater inspections inlieu of drydocking (UWILD) for many years. Depth rated to 300 meters, Cygnus Underwater metal thickness tester uses the multipleecho technique (approved by Classification Societies) for accurate and reliable thickness measurements through coating up to 20mm thick, when used in Deep Coat mode (upon request). This underwater thickness gauge is simple to use and is made of a rugged, durable, shockproof construction.
