Cygnus offers underwater solutions to tackle corrosion and leaks

摘要

IN MARINE AND shipping industry where steel corrosion is a constant challenge, Cygnus ultrasonic thickness gauges play a major role in providing a solution to this challenge. The Cygnus Multiple-Echo technique can measure the remaining metal thickness through protective coatings. However, this measuring technique can sometimes be difficult to achieve when measuring on extreme front face and back wall corrosion and round bars such as anchor chain links. This is why Cygnus has introduced Single-Echo, using twin-crystal probes into their product range providing users with the flexibility to alternate between the two with Cygnus DIVE. Cygnus DIVE is a wrist-mountable underwater thickness gauge. The DIVE has a number of key new features that include twin-crystal probe option to assist in taking measurements on uncoated material e.g. anchor chain links, extremely corroded steel and plastic outfall and dredge pipes; Measurement Stability Indicator (MSI) that shows when a reading in single-echo mode is stable by turning the thickness reading from red to yellow; a super bright AMOLED display, easily viewable by both the diver and his camera; and updated topside and reporting software allowing measurements and A-Scans to be displayed on the surface and data logged topside.
