Cygnus Instruments

Cygnus Instruments Cygnus manufacture ultrasonic thickness gauges which are employed in almost every industrial application worldwide. We also offer UT hatch cover tester.

We are the experts... Cygnus was founded in 1983

Founded in 1983, Cygnus pioneered the digital Multiple-Echo technique. This technique has long since been the industry standard for through coating measurement of material thickness. Driven by the need for a hand-held device, we successfully developed Multiple-Echo digital thickness gauges which measure metal thickness through protective coatings i

n a reliable and repeatable way. The range has recently been extended to include Echo-Echo and Single-Echo measurement modes to expand even further the usability of Cygnus gauges. Simplicity through technology…

Cygnus gauges are all robust and simple to use. They are engineered to withstand the harshest environments. New innovation…

Our roots are in marine inspection services. Now building on strong foundations, Cygnus has entered a new phase of innovation. We are investing heavily in market research and product development. We believe in an entirely application-driven, user-focused approach. For this reason we put a huge emphasis on listening to customer requirements and feedback. As a result of thousands of hours of research, development and continued investment, Cygnus has set and raised the standard for accurate thickness measurement devices, manufacturing gauges that are utilised in almost all industries including:

Ship hull surveys

Rope access surveys

Underwater inspections

Explosive environments. These are just a few of the diverse industries in which Cygnus thickness gauges are used. Remaining within the scope of using ultrasound for inspection, we have also developed the Hatch Sure, an ultrasonic hatch cover leak detector. Used predominantly for checking hatches on bulk carriers it also has many other applications e.g. water-tight door testing. Highest quality…

Cygnus is an ISO-9001 accredited company. On account of this and our intrinsically safe certifications (BASEEFA and CSA), we are constantly being audited guaranteeing you the best quality products. At Cygnus, high quality comes first and foremost.

🔥 Working in hazardous environments? Safety and accuracy aren’t optional — they’re essential.

The Cygnus 1 Ex is the world’s only intrinsically safe ultrasonic thickness gauge fully certified for ATEX, IECEx, and UKEX Zone 0.

This video shows how pairing it with the High Temperature Ex Probe allows inspectors to take reliable, in‑service thickness measurements on live assets — even in explosive atmospheres — without shutdowns, hot work permits, or operational disruption.

If you work in oil & gas, petrochem, power generation, tank farms, refineries, or confined industrial spaces, this is tech you need to see.
