FAQ:
There is a special feature called ‘Deep Coat’ that can allow Cygnus gauges to measure metal thickness through up to 20 mm of coating. Please contact Cygnus for details of how this feature can be enabled on certain gauges. Please note however the ability to measure through thick coatings depends entirely on the type of coating, we can not guarantee the gauge will measure through every type of coating.
Yes. Although the majority of applications require the gauges to be used on steel, the gauges can be used on a variety of other materials by either entering the known velocity of sound into the gauge in metres per second, or by calibrating the gauge with a known thickness of the material under test. Typical examples include, aluminium, copper, grey cast iron, magnesium, nickel, stainless steel, tungsten, monel, inconel, phosphor bronze and brass.
That will depend on your requirements. The operation of the Cygnus Instruments range of products is straightforward. Measurements can be taken by a competent operator with minimal training. If however you need to provide certified readings then you may need to have specific training to comply with your customers requirements.
