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.
Comprehensive Data Logging
Linear, 2D grid and template data recording options
16 grid patterns available.
‘Radial points’ can be added to any measurement to further investigate an area of interest or heavy corrosion.
Auto-log feature
Saves measurements and corresponding wave forms / A-scans.
Eight user-defined text comments to attach to any measurement point.
Records stored on an SD card.
Dedicated 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. thick.
Single-Echo mode is ideal for measuring uncoated metals with heavy front and/or back-wall corrosion. 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 also export data to Excel. Cyglink also 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.

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.
The Cygnus 6+ UT thickness gauge boasts a full suite of features for the demanding professional user, including: A-scan; B-scan; full data recording capability; 3 distinct measuring modes; high temperature transducer and manual gain control.
To compliment Cygnus' ultrasonic thickness gauges, 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. Therefore, selecting the right transducer is vital. All Cygnus’ transducers are made from stainless steel and have a hard wear face or a wear membrane to protect the transducer.
