The Cygnus 1 Ex is an ultrasonic testing (UT) equipment that revolutionizes inspections in potentially explosive atmospheres. It sets itself apart from other UT equipment in the market with its features and capabilities.

One of the key advantages of the Cygnus 1 Ex is its certification as Intrinsically Safe for use in hazardous "Zone 0" areas. This means that it ensures the safety of the testing operation by preventing the generation of arcs, sparks, or excessive heat that could lead to explosions. This certification makes it suitable for use in high-risk environments such as oil and gas refineries, mines, and fuel depots.

Additionally, the Cygnus 1 Ex eliminates the need for a Hot Work Permit or plant shutdown when conducting inspections. This makes it highly convenient for professionals working in close proximity to open flames and heat sources.

It saves both time and money, allowing inspections to be carried out without disrupting normal operations.

The gauge is designed with the user in mind, offering a seamless and efficient inspection experience.

It features a clear display with four different screen views, including Measurement, A-Scan, Data-logging, and B-Scan, which can be easily navigated using dynamic function keys.

The screen can be adjusted to a light or dark background, adapting to various lighting conditions.

Furthermore, the Cygnus 1 Ex employs Multiple-Echo technique pioneered by Cygnus. This technique enables measurements to be taken through protective coatings, eliminating the need to remove expensive coatings or epoxy that safeguard against corrosion.

Moreover, the gauge's Deep-Coat feature allows it to measure substrates through thick coatings up to 20mm (0.8") in thickness, surpassing the standard 3mm (0.12") limit.
