About Cygnus

We are the experts... Cygnus was founded in 1983.

Founded in 1983, Cygnus pioneered the digital multiple echo technique. This multiple echo technique has long since been the industry standard for accurate measurement of material thickness.

Driven by the need for a hand-held device and non-destructive testing, we successfully developed multiple echo digital thickness gauges which measure metal thickness through protective coatings in a reliable and repeatable way.

Simplicity through technology…

Cygnus gauges all use the multiple echo technique and are designed to be robust and simple to use. They are engineered to withstand the harshest environments.

New innovation…

Our roots are in the marine inspection services. Now building on strong foundations, Cygnus has entered a new phase of innovation. We are investing heavily in market research and product development. We believe in an entirely application-driven, user-focused approach.

Highest quality…

Cygnus is an ISO-9001 accredited company. On account of this and our intrinsically safe certifications (BASEEFA and CSA), we are constantly being audited to guarantee you the best quality.

At Cygnus, high quality comes first and foremost.
