Cygnus Instruments Limited Cygnus FMD System for ROV

With over three decades of designing ultrasonic equipment for the offshore and underwater environment, Cygnus fully understands the requirements of the subsea inspection industry. This entirely new Flooded Member Detector (FMD) combines intelligent, advanced software and electronics with a truly simple to use interface. Key keatures include: • Versatile: Deloyable by both diver or ROV. Being of a compact design the probe is able to get into to hard to reach areas (e.g. K nodes) where other inspection methods cannot. • Cost Effective : Owner operated and extremely easy to learn and understand. Due to its simplicity of use, the FMD system can be used by a range of operators, with varying experience, without the need for external contractors. • Easy to Use: The innovative probe handling solution which self aligns, ensuring correct contact with the member, even when approached from an angle. The system also has a contact sensor which will not allow a test to be taken unless the probe is correctly aligned. The system returns a simple DRY / FLOODED result to the reporting software with results logged at the surface. • Reliable: Cygnus is an ultrasonic specialist. Years of industry experience and design expertise combine to make this system an extremely advanced, effective and reliable Ultrasonic FMD System available. The purpose-designed system boasts: advanced signal processing; an advanced peak detection algorithm and; low distortion / low noise data acquisition to ensure highest level of confidence and to eliminate false readings. The system will only take a measurement when the contact sensor detects probe contact, ensuring reliable results every time. The reporting software will indicate at the surface should the probe lose contact during a test. System Test Function ensures the reliability of the system before it is deployed. • Reporting Software: Used to perform system tests; displays test results; displays A-Scans for verification; indicator shows RED if flooded, GREEN if dry; logs results for offline analysis and; reports can be generated and exported to PDF and Excel • Rugged: Available in high grade acetal or stainless steel for the harshest environments. The FMD equipment is designed to the highest standards, supported by a three year warranty.
