Designed for taking reliable thickness measurements in all hazardous gas Zones (0, 1, 2), coal mines and combustible dust Zones (21, 22), this Intrinsically Safe UTG boasts advanced data logging and high temperature measurement capability. The Cygnus 1 Ex features a large color LCD display and 3 measuring modes for through-coat measurements and various materials - including heavily corroded metals.
An Intrinsically Safe Ex gage, designed for taking reliable thickness measurements in all hazardous gas Zones (0, 1 & 2), coal mines and combustible dust Zones (21, 22). The Cygnus 1 Ex Ultrasonic Thickness Gage is a rugged, handheld, intrinsically safe instrument designed for taking reliable thickness measurements in Zone 0 Explosive Atmospheres – making it ideal for use in fuel depots, road and vessel tankers, mines, chemical plants, oil and gas, refineries, pipelines, hazardous storage tanks and other hazardous environments. This intrinsically Safe UTG is also certified for safe use in combustible dust Zones (21, 22), such as flour mills, sugar plants, and wood manufacturing.
