CYGNUS W1 PROBE HANDLER

Cygnus-W1-Probe-Handler-with-T-Bar-Handle

CYGNUS W1 PROBE HANDLER

The Cygnus W1 Probe Handler is designed for use on Work Class ROVs. It can be held by a manipulator arm and supplied with either T bar or Fish Tail handles. Constructed from 316 stainless steel throughout, it has a depth rating of 4000 msw.

The Ultrasonic probe alignment is provided by a double jointed coupling that enables 15 degrees of movement in both planes guided by four pins. A shock absorbing spring reduces any impact loading on the unit. The design allows the manipulator arm to present the ultrasonic probe to the surface to be measured. Any misalignment will be taken up by the coupling resulting in less movement of the manipulator arm position.

SINGLE CRYSTAL ULTRASONIC PROBES

Cygnus single crystal probes are for use with the gauge in Multiple-Echo mode to read through and ignore coatings.

These have one piezo-ceramic crystal. This crystal both sends and receives the ultrasound energy.

The S2C single crystal 2.25 MHz 13 mm (0.51 in) probe is recommended for the majority of applications and can be used to read through coatings up to 20 mm (0.79 in) thick with the gauge in Deep Coat mode.

Probe membranes

All Cygnus single crystal probes have a protective membrane fitted in front of the probe face to protect it from damage during use on rough corroded surfaces. A thin film of membrane couplant sits between the membrane and the probe face to allow the ultrasound to pass through. The membrane also helps the probe face “mold” to uneven corroded surfaces aiding measurement.

The performance of the probe depends on the condition of the membrane and how well it has been fitted. Cygnus recommends membranes are replaced frequently as a precaution or at the first sign of any scoring, tearing or damage. Please visit our Technical Downloads page to see the probe membrane fitting and maintenance video and instructions.

Membranes are available in two materials, the standard Polyurethane membrane is suitable for surface temperatures up to 75°C (167°F), the Teflon membrane is suitable for surface temperatures up to 150°C (302°F) with a maximum contact time of 5 seconds.

TWIN CRYSTAL ULTRASONIC PROBES

Cygnus twin crystal (dual element) probes are for use with the gauge in Single-Echo or Echo-Echo modes.

The probe face is divided into two: one semi-circle transmits the ultrasound energy and the other receives it back.

They have a hard wear face which will eventually wear down. The gauge will automatically “Zero” the probe to compensate for wear (until there is excessive wear when the probe should be replaced). The gauge will indicate when the probe needs changing with a warning message.

In Echo-Echo mode, up to 1 mm (0.04 in) of coating can be read through and ignored. Single-Echo mode can only be used on bare surfaces or where coatings have been removed.

The T5B twin crystal 5 MHz 8 mm (0.315 in) probe is recommended for the majority of applications in Single-Echo and Echo-Echo modes.
