Underwater Instrumentation
Cygnus (UK)
Founded in 1983, Cygnus pioneered the digital multiple echo technique. The technique has long since been the industry standard for accurate measurement of material thickness.
Driven by the need for a hand-held device they successfully developed multiple echo digital thickness gauges which measure metal thickness through protective coatings in a reliable and repeatable way.
Cygnus 1
Cygnus 1 is a tough multiple echo Ultrasonic Thickness gauge designed for use by divers undertaking subsea surveys – the original underwater thickness gauge.
