Blueye X3 Equipment

Cygnus Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge

The Cygnus Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge measures the thickness of underwater surfaces without the need for divers or dry docking. This thickness gauge is a great tool for NDT, UWILDs, and other inspections.

Safe and efficient inspections

With the Cygnus Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge integrated with our Blueye X3, you are able to do more than a visual underwater inspection. This user-friendly method of conducting thickness measurements decreases time and costs of both periodic and ad-hock inspections. The X3 will allow you to reach inspection areas where using heavy ROVs and divers is not feasible.

Live thickness readings are displayed in the Blueye App without the need for additional software. The measurements are given with an accuracy of 0.1 mm and verified with triple-echo verification. This integration allows you to measure thickness without removing protective coatings, as the probe will measure through coatings and soft marine growth.

Use cases for Cygnus UT Gauge:

Remote inspections
Reveal corrosion extent
Conduct UWILDs and NDT
Inspections of hulls, propellers, tanks, pipes, docs, rigs, and other constructions
