NEW Cygnus DIVE Underwater Thickness Gauge
Cygnus Instruments, the leading manufacturer of Multiple Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges will be launching their latest Underwater model, the Cygnus DIVE, at Oceanology International.
The Cygnus DIVE is packed with new features and has been designed to be worn on the diver’s wrist potentially giving them an invaluable free hand while performing the thickness survey. Like all Cygnus products the DIVE has been designed for easy operation, it has only two buttons for quick and easy navigation of the menu. It has a large bright colour TFT screen displaying the thickness measurements in large, clear, easy to read numbers. To assist in the verification of thickness measurements and to help locate suitable ultrasound reflectors on badly corroded metal the Cygnus DIVE can display an A-Scan graph of the ultrasound received. The Deep Coat function allows the Cygnus DIVE to measure metal thickness through coatings up to 20mm thick.
The Topside Options include DIVELink software to data log readings and store A-Scans on the surface and a Topside Display unit with video overlay capabilities to mix and display thickness measurements on the video monitor.
The optional HelmetView™ remotely displays thickness measurements via a display fitted to the diver’s helmet.
