Professional divers are all too familiar with the challenges subsea environments present.
The latest model of the Cygnus Underwater, an incredible advance on its predecessor, has a host of smart new features, specially designed to operate seamlessly in severe, hostile conditions, simultaneously accomplishing greater accuracy and usability.
Measuring through coatings, and now, heavy corrosion
The most noticeable update (aside from a fantastic new look!) ¬is the Cygnus Underwater’s switch to a multi-mode gauge. Incorporating Single-Echo and Echo-Echo modes gives divers more scope for testing varying levels of corrosion. Echo-Echo suits measuring heavily corroded metals through thin coatings (i.e., coated metals with heavy back wall corrosion) while Single-Echo mode is ideal for measuring uncoated metals with heavy front and/or back-wall corrosion.
This is valuable for ship hulls, which suffer severe corrosion, particularly above the waterline, due to exceptionally corrosive deposits from evaporating seawater spray. Furthermore, the Cygnus Underwater saves marine vessels covering needless miles to reach dry dock and experiencing downtime, by facilitating UWILD or IWS Class Surveys whilst ships are enroute.
Where corrosion is high risk, protective... read more about how Cygnus’ NEW Underwater Gauge takes subsea challenges in its stride.
