BMS have the latest 'Cygnus Instruments' non-destructive ultrasonic digital thickness gauges for measuring Steel, Aluminium, GRP and composite hulls. As either part of a full condition survey or as a separate report.
Steel and Aluminium Vessels: Cygnus 4. A digital multiple echo unit with an accuracy of +/- 0.01 measuring up to 25cm! Surface coatings do not need to be ground off as the unit only measures the steel/aluminium thickness with minimal surface preparation.
GRP and Composite vessels:Cygnus SE. Digitally measures GRP and composite materials with ultra sonic sound identifying de-lamination and osmotic problems.
