Cygnus - Model 2+ -Hands Free Multi Mode Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
The Cygnus 2PLUS is a simple to use, multi-mode thickness gage having Multiple-Echo, Echo-Echo and Single-Echo capabilities. The rotatable end-mounted display makes it ideally suited for climbing and rope access. The twin shot injection molded enclosure has a soft but durable TPE outer skin which is comfortable to hold and protects against bumps while the hard internal shell offers maximum strength and environmental protection certified to the demanding US MIL STD 810G standard. Perfect for use on flat plate, curved surfaces or pipes our Multiple-Echo single crystal probe technology means you can measure through thick coatings and only the remaining metal thickness is displayed.
The unit still relies on Multiple-Echo to provide simple and accurate measurements, with the added benefit of Echo‑Echo and Single-Echo using twin crystal probes for extreme corrosion. Echo-Echo for measurements on painted metals but with heavy back wall corrosion / pitting and Single‑Echo for measurements on uncoated surfaces with heavy front face and/or back-wall corrosion and attenuative materials such as cast metals or plastics / composites.

Multiple-Echo uses three back wall echoes and measures remaining metal thickness while ignoring coatings. All measurements are error checked using 3 return echoes to give repeatable, reliable results. Accepted by all major classification societies. Uses single crystal probes for linear accuracy (and no probe zero required).
Echo-Echo uses two back wall echoes and measures remaining metal thickness while ignoring coatings up to 0.04 inch (1 mm) thick using twin crystal probes for improved detection of back wall corrosion and pitting.
Single-Echo uses one back wall echo, measures remaining metal thickness on uncoated surfaces and is possibly helpful for areas with extreme front face or back wall corrosion and pitting. Effective on highly attenuative materials such as cast metals, plastics and composites.
MSI™ (Measurement Stability Indicator)
This clever technique helps ensure only stable measurements are displayed in Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes. Displayed measurements change color from red to green and vibrate alert to indicate a stable reading.
Flexible Handling
Along with the wrist and neck straps supplied in the kit there is also an optional belt clip, offering a range of flexible handling solutions for all types of applications.
