Thickness Gauges from Cygnus – Precision, Reliability, and Confidence in Every Measurement
We at ZRS are proud distributors of Cygnus Instruments—the world leader in ultrasonic thickness measurement. With proven Multiple-Echo technology, you get accurate measurements through paint, rust, and coatings—without having to grind away the protective layer. This saves time, preserves the material, and reduces the risk of errors.

The technology works by detecting multiple ultrasonic echoes within the material, making it possible to measure the actual wall thickness even when the surface is painted or corroded.

Whether you work underwater, in an industrial setting, or inspect tanks, pipes, and structures, there’s a model to suit your needs. Cygnus combines British engineering, rugged construction, and intuitive operation—all so you can trust every measurement, every time.

ZRS offers consulting, service, and support—with a focus on long-term value and technical reliability. Together, we’ll help you choose the right meter for the job.
