CYGNUS INSTRUMENTS, INC.

The Case:

Cygnus Instruments provides to the marine industry the world’s ? rst mul- tiple echo ultrasonic thickness gauge that provides true, accurate, veri? ed thickness measurements of hulls, tanks, piping and any other metal structures aboard the ship. These measurements are obtained without removing valu- able protective coatings. These inspec- tions can be done either topside or sub- sea via underwater thickness gauges.

The Company:

Cygnus offers a variety of hand held digital thickness gauges that range from extra heavy duty to the world’s ? rst gauge certi? ed intrinsically safe for use in potential hazardous atmo- sphere without the fear of causing an explosion. The MK5 family of gauges offers simple to use standard models and models that have multiple echo, echo-to-echo and single echo measur- ing modes, A-scan presentation data logging and B-scan. There are under- water hand held gauges for divers and

ROV models with depth rating of 500, 2,000 and 4,000 meters. There is also an ultrasonic leak detector for detect- ing leaks in hatch covers. Cygnus intro- duced this year a new FMD (Flooded

Member Detector) for the offshore in- dustry. This is a state of the art ultrason- ic gauge. www.cygnusinstruments.com 29 www.marinelink.com MN
