CYGNUS 1 ROV ULTRASONIC THICKNESS GAUGE
The Cygnus 1 ROV Multiple-Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is designed for high-
reliability thickness measurement using the multiple-echo technique.
The Gauge is designed to be mounted onto most types of work-class ROV with or without a
manipulator facility. There is also a lightweight version of the Gauge for use with smaller
ROVs.
All versions of the Gauge are fully-waterproof, and can be used both underwater and in air -
Cygnus manufactures the Cygnus 1 ROV Thickness Gauge in three system options :
¾ Deep-Water Version :
pressure-tested down to 3000 metres
¾ Shallow-Water Version :
pressure-tested down to 1000 metres
¾ Mini-ROV Lightweight Version :
pressure-tested down to 500 metres
All versions of the Gauge are supplied with dedicated PC-software for displaying and
logging the thickness readings at the surface.
The Gauge is supplied with one Ultrasonic Probe – the Probe-type must be specified at the
time of purchase of the Gauge. Probes are not freely interchangeable – please consult with
Cygnus if you wish to use a different Probe with the Gauge.
The Cygnus 1 ROV Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge is a solid-state electronic instrument
which, under normal operating conditions, will give many years of active service.
Although designed for ease of operation, the first time user should carefully read this manual
to familiarise themselves with the features of the instrument.
