High Temperature Measurement
Using the T5B-MAUH high temperature transducer, measurements can be taken on hot surfaces of up to 572°F.
No cooling period is required – which can reduce inspection time and facilitate more effective measurement.
Optional upgrade to braided cable.
Basic Data Logging
Linear based data logging.
Technician can pre-define 8 different comments and then attach to any measurement point.
Auto-log feature.
Saves both measurements and corresponding A-Scans (waveforms).
Logged points stored on SD card.
CygLink software used to transfer and manage data.
Three Versatile Measuring Modes
Multiple-Echo mode uses three error checked back wall echoes to provide the most reliable and accurate remaining thickness measurements possible, with no need to remove coatings up to 0.8 in. (20 mm) thick.
Single-Echo mode is ideal for measuring uncoated metals with heavy front and/or back-wall corrosion. This mode is also effective on a range of cast metals, plastics and composites.
Echo-Echo mode works best for measuring heavily corroded metals through thin coatings of up to 0.04 in. thick; ideal for measuring painted metals with heavy back wall corrosion.
CygLink Computer Software
CygLink is a Windows® based application used to both transfer and manage data logged records, their corresponding A-scans as well as measurement comments and material velocity tables. The program can generate PDF reports to present to a client and will export recorded data to Excel. Cyglink also records and displays A‑scans, allowing for after-the-event and off-site analysis of logged measurements.
The latest version of CygLink software is available to download on the Cygnus website.
Measurement Stability Indicator (MSI™)
Exclusive to Cygnus, MSI™ ensures stable and therefore reliable measurements are displayed in Echo‑Echo and Single-Echo modes.

To compliment the ultrasonic thickness gauge, Cygnus offers a range of ultrasonic transducers.
The performance of any ultrasonic thickness gauge relies heavily on the transducer and its suitability to the material being measured.
All Cygnus’ transducers are made from stainless steel and have a hard wear face or a wear membrane to protect the transducer.
Variety of Cygnus INOX Transducers
Stainless steel SINGLE CRYSTAL transducers, used in multiple-echo mode, include replaceable membranes for long life, require no zeroing and have a high linear accuracy.
Stainless steel TWIN CRYSTAL transducers, used in echo-echo and single-echo modes, have improved measurability on extreme back wall corrosion and pitting.
Transducers for use with the Cygnus 2+, 4, 4+ and 6+ gauges are fitted with a BNC or Lemo 00 connector.
A versatile thickness meter used for a wide range of applications, the Cygnus 4+ offers: live A-scan display; sequential data logging (recording of measurements); an optional high temperature transducer; and 3 distinct measuring modes to cope with a wide range of situations. All these features are wrapped up in a hugely robust housing - and the unit is still extremely simple to operate.
