Cygnus Cygnus 1
A heavy-duty ultrasonic thickness gauge, the Cygnus 1 has been specified for use in hazardous areas to measure corrosion defects in metal. Easy to use and featuring a lightweight, ergonomic design, the Cygnus does not require surface coating removal to gather accurate ultrasonic thickness measurement readings. The 1I.S has been certified Intrinsically Safe to both EXII 1g EEX iaIIC TG and CSA Class1, Group A, Division1 standards.
The Cygnus 1 I.S. Thickness Meter is supplied with 2 batteries, a battery charger probe, a spares kit, a test block, an operating manual, and a transit case.
