Our range of digital thickness gauge solutions includes basic handheld thickness gauges, advanced ultrasonic gauges, and single and dual element transducers.
A thickness gauge is a device used to quickly and easily measure the thickness of a material. A thickness gauge is useful for many industries but is most commonly used in engineering and manufacturing to help ensure material thickness complies with industrial standards and regulations. As well as measuring the thickness and density of a material, a thickness gauge can be used as an additional quality assurance tool in industries such as automotive manufacturing to measure the uniformity of the material and help identify hidden damages or imperfections.
With competitive price and timely delivery, AJR sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
Different factors can affect the price and cost of a thickness gauge, such as the transducer frequency, thickness measurement application, and software capabilities. We offer free quotes and demos so that you can test and evaluate gauges pre-purchase; contact us to learn more.
Hall-effect thickness gauges, such as the Magna-Mike™ 8600 gauge, use a sensor that responds to changes in a magnetic field by varying a voltage. Using a small magnetic target, they can accurately measure the thickness of nearly any non-magnetic material where a probe can be placed on one side and a target, like a steel ball, on the other. Hall-effect gauges are also called magnetic gauges.
If you’re looking to measure the thickness of a pipe, an ultrasonic thickness gauge should be used. A handheld thickness gauge, such as the 27MG gauge, will offer accurate measurements from one side of metal pipes and parts that are thinning due to erosion or corrosion.
To accurately measure the thickness of a metal without damaging it, an ultrasonic thickness gauge should be used.
A mil (or thou) is a unit of thickness that equals one thousandth of an inch (0.001 inches). Example: 10 mils = 0.010 inches. Mil thickness is commonly used in manufacturing in non-metric countries to measure the thickness of various thin materials, such as paint layers, thin films, foils, plastic sheets, and coatings.
A micron (µm) is a small unit of thickness that equals one-millionth of a meter (0.000001 meters) and one-thousandth of a millimeter (0.001 millimeters). Micron is the shortened word for micrometer and is the closest metric unit to a mil (25.4 microns = 1 mil).
Ultrasonic thickness gauges can measure paint thickness nondestructively. For example, high-frequency thickness gauges such as the 72DL PLUS instrument offer features that can calculate total paint thickness and simultaneously display paint thickness measurements of up to six individual layers. Paint thickness is expressed in mils or microns.
To measure the thickness of plastic nondestructively, a Hall-effect or ultrasonic thickness gauge should be used. The thickness of plastic is often expressed in mils or microns.
The 38-Link adapter enables any existing 38DL PLUS gauge to send and receive data using a Bluetooth® or wireless LAN connection, enabling more efficient workflows.

The 45MG gauge is packed with standard measurement features and software options. Compatible with our full range of dual element and single element thickness gauge transducers, this innovative instrument can solve virtually every thickness gauging application.
Are you in an industry that requires precise and convenient apparatus for measuring metal corrosion and surface thickness? Call Cygnus Instruments today on +441305265533 for the premier ultrasonic thickness gauge suppliers. We’ve got years of pioneering experience behind us, which has helped us produce the highest grade equipment in the industry.
With over 30 years’ experience designing, engineering, and manufacturing equipment for various industries, we’ve become the highest regarded ultrasonic thickness gauge suppliers worldwide. Our extensive range covers almost every eventuality, providing accurate measurements with easy to use instruments. Thanks to our ideas, the world standard of thickness testing and thickness measurement as changed. Our multi-echo system allows the pinpoint measurement of the thickness of a surface and negates the thickness of the coating. This means you’ll get the measurement for the metal surface alone, which is supremely useful if you need to measure corrosion and metal loss accurately. It’s easy to see why we are the best ultrasonic thickness gauge suppliers.
The Multiple-Echo system was pioneered by our ultrasonic thickness gauge suppliers, and uses single crystal probes that emit a high-frequency burst into the surface you wish to measure. This echo travels through the coating at 1/3 the speed that it travels through the metal itself. The echo will reverberate, or bounce, off the back wall of the metal and travel back through the coating to be picked up by the probe we manufacture within our ultrasonic thickness gauge supplier. The receiver detects a return signal, but the wave will partially bounce off the wall of the metal between metal and the coating. This wave reverberates through the metal a further two times, giving a total of 3 readings. The first reading measures the coating twice and the metal once. The other two readings measure the time of the metal thickness and the coating only once. These readings result in our equipment having one reading that’s slightly larger than the other two. Using our engineer’s equations at our ultrasonic thickness gauge suppliers, we can determine the thickness of the coating and eliminate it from the measurements. This leaves you with an accurate measurement for the metal alone, by way of solving using simultaneous equations.
Our designs and manufacturing give us superior results that you won’t find with any other suppliers of ultrasonic thickness gauges. Our instruments are rugged, shock-proof, and highly durable, so they can survive constant use in tough environments. No matter you’re working environment, we’re the only ultrasonic thickness gauge suppliers you need.
Depending on the types of data you need to collect, and how many points of data you’d like in a single record, we’ve got options that will be suitable for any scenario. Our simplest design is the Cygnus 1 Intrinsically Safe, which is a light, compact gauge. Supremely easy to use and a common addition to many engineers’ toolkits. It’s a rugged, yet ergonomic design, making it easy to use and accurate to ±0.1mm or ±0.1% (whichever is greater).Our innovations have made us the top suppliers of ultrasonic thickness gauges, and the Cygnus 1 is a perfect example. Its thickness measuring abilities include material sonic velocities between 2000 and 7000 meters per second, which covers almost every common engineering material in modern use. It can measure thicknesses between 1mm and 250mm, depending on the attached probe. No other ultrasonic thickness gage suppliers can provide the level of quality, accuracy, and convenience at our competitive prices. The combination of specifications, convenience, data collection, compatibility, and spectrum for utilization is unparalleled by other suppliers for ultrasonic thickness gauges. Our top of the line instrument, the Cygnus 6+ Pro, is head and shoulders above anything else on the market. It’s designed for the professional user that will encounter many different scenarios but can’t afford to be dragging around a whole bag of different gauges. Thanks to its comprehensive design, it’s able to use single and double crystal probes for multiple-echo, echo-echo and single echo readings. It can cope with the harshest environments and still remain fully functional. It features an easy to use keypad, LCD main display, and a top mounted LCD display which is suited for high and low light visibility. Its thickness measuring capabilities are as follows:
The Cygnus 6+ Pro has unprecedented data recording, analysis, and export capabilities. It features a removable SD-card for easy data transfer and records up to 5000 data points in one record.
