Cygnus Instruments Ltd.

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

Founded in 1983, Cygnus pioneered the digital multiple echo technique. This
multiple echo technique has long since been the industry standard for accurate
measurement of material thickness.

Driven by the need for a hand-held device and non-destructive testing, we
successfully developed multiple echo digital thickness gauges which measure
metal thickness through protective coatings in a reliable and repeatable way.

Simplicity through technology…

Cygnus gauges all use the multiple echo technique and are designed to be
robust and simple to use. They are engineered to withstand the harshest
environments.

New innovation…

Our roots are in the 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.

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 to guarantee you the best quality.

At Cygnus, high quality comes first and foremost.
