Designed for hands free operation, this simple yet versatile ultrasonic thickness tester has an end-mounted display and three measuring modes for measuring thickness of a variety of materials (including plastics) and metals of any level of corrosion and pitting.
Key features of the Cygnus 2+ Hands Free ultrasonic thickness tester include:
- Multiple-Echo for accurate through-coat measurements, as specified by Classification Societies
- Echo-Echo and Single-Echo for heavily corroded metals with a thin or no coating
- Hands free operation – wrist, waist belt and harness mountable
- End-mounted display for thickness measurements, making it ideal for rope access and climbing applications
- Front display enabling easy set-up of ultrasonic thickness tester
- Deep Coat mode that ignores coatings up to 20 mm thick
- MSI™ helps verify stable and reliable measurements
- Intuitive easy to use menu
- Extremely rugged enclosure – shock and impact proof to US MIL STD 810G
- Environmental sealing (water and dust proof) to IP67 – US MIL STD 810G.
- Uses single and twin crystal probes
- One and two point calibration
- Can be upgraded to 4+ or 6+ at an additional cost.

Probes
To compliment Cygnus’ range of ultrasonic thickness testers we offer a range of portable UTM probes. The performance of any ultrasonic thickness tester relies heavily on the probe and its suitability to the material being tested. Therefore, selecting the right probe is vital.
All Cygnus’ portable UTM probes are made from stainless steel and have a hard wear face or a wear membrane to protect the probe.
Variety of Cygnus INOX Probes
- Stainless steel Single Crystal probes: Uses multiple-echo mode, includes replaceable membranes for long life, require no zeroing and have a high linear accuracy.
- Stainless steel Twin Crystal probes: Uses echo-echo and single-echo modes and have improved measurability on extreme back wall corrosion and pitting.
- Probes for use with the Cygnus 2+, 4, 4+ and 6+ testers are fitted with a BNC or Lemo 00 connector.
