Cygnus 4 General Purpose
Multiple-Echo Ultrasonic Thickness Gage
The Cygnus 4 ultrasonic thickness gauge is small, tough and accurate.
Designed for the harshest of environments with a simple to use keypad and intuitive menus and a colour LCD display which can be viewed in all lighting conditions.
The twin shot injection moulded enclosure has a soft but durable TPE outer skin which is both comfortable and robust while the inner shell is strong, keeping the electronics totally sealed from the outside world. Having passed the stringent US Military Standard 810G environmental tests, this new housing represents toughness and reliability.
The Cygnus Multiple-Echo, single crystal probe, technology means you can measure through thick coatings and only the remaining metal thickness is displayed.
Cygnus Instruments builds all of its equipment in the UK using only genuine and original parts and components – including Lemo® Connectors and Peli® Cases.

Nice
Reliable, accurate and easy to operate
Very good and very pleased
I am very pleased with our Cygnus 4 ultrasonic thickness gauge. It works very well, it’s reliable, easy to use and feels like a good quality piece of kit that is well worth the price.
Thank you Cygnus. You have been awesome in your support on ALL our inspections for over 20 years. 60 machines including our first machine bought 20 years ago (Cygnus 4, Sr. No 300), are all still in operation. That is a testament to Cygnus’ quality engineering and electronics.
