Unbeatable UTM Inspection in Hazardous Offshore Environments

Cygnus 1 Ex provides a first-class experience in user control and safety - unmatched within intrinsically safe Ultrasonic Thickness Measurement (UTM). Users can adjust the complexity of the settings to suit their level of experience - an invaluable tool allowing offshore teams in hazardous environments to carry out regular preventative structural monitoring without the costs of shutdown, disruption or outsourcing, whilst balancing increasing demand in a 24/7 production culture.

Monitoring Corrosion on Oil and Gas Vessels and Scrubbers

Water ingress into a ship’s engine room is one example of catastrophic incidents that occur when corrosion compromises the structural integrity of a scrubber and its ship. Aggravated by the high temperatures of exhaust gases, the highly acidic and corrosive wash water causes extremely severe corrosion. As a result, classification societies such as DNV-GL require wall thickness measurement for the SOx Scrubber overboard distance piece in annual class surveys. Many companies worldwide choose Cygnus as a recognised brand born in the marine industry over 40 years ago, now renowned for its extremely reliable and easy-to-use ultrasonic thickness testing equipment!

The Cygnus 1 Ex is the only one of its kind in the world certified Intrinsically Safe to ATEX, IECEx, UKEX for use in all hazardous gas Zones.... read more about unbeatable UTM inspections in hazardous offshore environments.
