CYGNUS THICKNESS GAUGES  
  [ HOME ]  
 

With multiple echo, readings are taken by measuring the time delay between any three consecutive backwall echos which means that the coating thickness, up to 6mm, is completely ignored. The gauges do not need to be zeroed and no recalibration is needed at switch on.


Simplicity through technology. 

How Multiple-Echo Works
 

All ultrasonic thickness gauges must be calibrated to the velocity of sound of the material that they are measuring. Coatings such as paint, epoxy and bitumen have a velocity of sound which is around 113 of that of steel. Traditional single echo technology measures the time taken for a single backwall echo to pass through the material under test as well as the surface coating, giving an apparent material thickness measurement.
