Cygnus Stainless Steel INOX Probes (Twin Crystal)
Used in Echo-Echo and Single-Echo modes, these
probes have improved measurability on extreme back
wall corrosion and pitting.

Echo-Echo (Twin Crystal Probes) measures through

coatings of up to 1 mm (0.04 inch) thick, ideal for
measuring painted metals with back wall corrosion. DURABLE CABLES
Single-Echo (Twin Crystal Probes) ideal for measuring Using standard industry connectors our probe leads
