Cygnus Probe Family

Product catalog summary
Overview: Cygnus Instruments offers a range of ultrasonic probes designed to complement their ultrasonic thickness gauges. The performance of these gauges is highly dependent on the suitability of the probe to the material being measured, making the selection of the right probe crucial.
Applications: The probes are ideal for use in various sectors including oil and gas, offshore platforms, ship surveys, and through special coatings. They are suitable for environments such as plant maintenance, civil engineering, marine structures, and more.
Probe Types and Specifications:
  • Single Crystal Probes: Made from stainless steel, these probes are used in multiple-echo mode, featuring replaceable membranes for durability and high linear accuracy. They are ideal for reading through coatings without zeroing.
  • Twin Crystal Probes: These are used in echo-echo and single-echo modes, offering improved measurability on heavily corroded metals.
  • High Temperature Probes: Designed for in-service thickness measurements on hot surfaces up to 300°C, suitable for sectors like oil and gas.
Measuring Modes:
  • Multiple-Echo Mode: Provides reliable thickness measurements without removing coatings up to 20mm thick.
  • Single-Echo Mode: Suitable for uncoated metals with heavy corrosion.
  • Echo-Echo Mode: Best for measuring through thin coatings up to 1mm thick.
Probe Frequency Selection: The frequency is determined by the minimum thickness to be measured. Lower frequencies are more effective at penetrating coatings and corrosion.
Accessories and Maintenance: Probes require ultrasonic couplant for measurements. Membranes should be replaced frequently to ensure optimal performance. Membranes are available in polyurethane and Teflon for different temperature ranges.
Contact Information: Cygnus Instruments provides contact details for their headquarters and regional offices in the USA, UAE, and Singapore for further inquiries and product advice.

SINGLE CRYSTAL PROBES Probe Membranes Cygnus single crystal probes have a protective membrane fitted in front of the probe face to protect it from damage during use. The membrane also helps the probe face “mould” to surfaces being measured. Single crystal probes are particularly suited to read through and ignore coatings. They are used with our gauges in Multiple-Echo mode. Constructed from stainless steel, they have a soft face incorporating a replaceable wear membrane. This protects the probe face ensuring years of reliable, accurate service. SINGLE CRYSTAL PROBES The performance of the probe...

TWIN CRYSTAL PROBES HIGH TEMPERATURE PROBES Twin crystal probes are particularly suited to measuring heavily corroded metals. They are used with our gauges in two measuring modes. In Echo-Echo mode, up to 1 mm (0.040 inch) of surface coating can be read through and ignored. Single-Echo mode should only be used when there are no surface coatings. No cooling period required - reducing inspection time and facilitating more effective measurement HIGH TEMPERATURE PROBE TWIN CRYSTAL PROBES Twin Element Ultrasonic Probe designed for high-temperature, in-service thickness measurements and corrosion surveys...
