Cygnus ROV UTM Ultrasonic Thickness Meter

Call for Price

Cygnus’ ROV UTM thickness meter with live A-Scan is depth rated to nearly 10,000 feet (3,000m) and uses a piezo-composite transducer and self-aligning transducer handler. This deep water underwater thickness meter is versatile and designed to measure metal thickness in the harshest subsea operating conditions – without the need to remove coatings.

Description

Key Features of the Cygnus ROV UTM Meter

  • A-scan / Waveform to assist with measurement verification
  • Multiple-Echo and Echo-Echo modes for accurate measurements through coatings up to 0.04 inch
  • Single-Echo mode for heavily corroded metals with no coating
  • Manual or automatic gain control
  • High-performance SD2C transducer fitted with a Hard Rexolite Delay line
  • Use the Auto Single-Echo / Echo-Echo / Multiple-Echo measuring mode for best results or set manually
  • P50 Transducer Handler cleverly-designed to self-align with pipes from 50 mm diameters to flat surfaces
  • Supplied with CygLink software to display and process measurements on a computer at the surface
  • Easy calibration and measurement settings via CygLink software at the surface

Benefits of Multiple Echo

  • Accepted by all major classification societies
  • Measures remaining metal thickness on corroded and coated structures
  • All measurements are error checked using 3 return echoes to give repeatable, reliable results
  • Saving inspection time and costs

Transducer Handling Solutions

The ‘P50’ Transducer Handler is designed to align the ultrasonic transducer on to straight pipes, from 2 inches in diameter all the way up to up to flat surfaces.

The spring-loaded transducer and v-shaped block allow the transducer to be positioned correctly on a straight pipe and move to accommodate different pipe diameters.

A gimbal allows the transducer to align on to the straight pipe surface when used with a ROV manipulator arm.

The transducer handler can be fitted with a choice of manipulator handles; T Bar or Fishtail.

Cyglink Computer Software

CygLink is a Windows® based application used to both transfer and manage data logged records, their corresponding A-scans as well as measurement comments and material velocity tables. Cyglink can generate PDF reports to present to the client and will also export data to Excel. Cyglink also displays A‑scans, allowing for off-site analysis of logged measurements at a later date.

The latest version of CygLink software is available to download – from ‘Software Downloads’.
