Cygnus 1 Ex: Advanced Intrinsically Safe Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge
€4,082.19
The Cygnus 1 Ex is a certified explosion proof thickness gauge that safely measures metal thickness in hazardous areas, including Zones 0, 1, 2, 21, and 22. It can measure through paint or coatings without removing them, works on corroded metals, and can handle hot surfaces up to 300ยฐC โ all without needing a hot work permit.

The Cygnus 1 Ex weighs only 1 kg including battery and is built with a durable IP67-rated casing for harsh environments. It has a 3.5โ color display that remains readable in direct sunlight and offers up to 8 hours of continuous use on a single charge. The gauge supports Single-Echo, Echo-Echo, and Multiple-Echo modes with a measurement range in steel from 0.8 mm to 250 mm, depending on the probe.
Accuracy is ยฑ0.1 mm or 0.1% of the reading, with selectable resolutions down to 0.01 mm. It operates between 0ยฐC and +50ยฐC, stores up to 10,000 measurements and A-scans, and connects to Windows devices via Bluetooth using Cyglink software for data analysis and reporting.
