Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge & Power Challenges

In the Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) industry, ultrasonic thickness gauges are essential tools for evaluating material thickness without causing damage. They are widely used in petrochemical pipelines, shipbuilding, aerospace structures, power facilities, and steel manufacturing.

However, the performance and accuracy of ultrasonic thickness gauges rely heavily on one core component — the battery system. An unstable or poorly designed battery can directly impact measurement reliability and on-site productivity.

Common Battery Pain Points in Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges

• Insufficient Runtime: Conventional disposable batteries often support only a few hours of operation, leading to frequent replacements and downtime.
• Poor Temperature Performance: Capacity drops significantly in cold outdoor environments or high-temperature industrial sites, causing unexpected shutdowns.
• Safety Risks: Leakage, swelling, or rising internal resistance may result in inaccurate readings or even damage the equipment.
• Maintenance & Logistics Issues: Disposable batteries increase procurement frequency, logistics cost, and environmental burden.

PKNERGY Battery Advantages for Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges

1. High Energy Density & Long Runtime

We offer high-performance lithium battery solutions using custom lithium polymer batteries and cylindrical Li-ion cells (18650 / 21700 / 26650). Single-cell capacities range from 1200mAh to 4800mAh, with configurable pack voltages such as 7.4V, 11.1V, and 14.8V.

Compared with conventional batteries, PKNERGY packs deliver up to 2–3× longer runtime.

2. Wide Temperature Performance

Our batteries are engineered for harsh environments, operating reliably from -30℃ to +60℃. Even in sub-zero conditions, they retain over 80% capacity, ensuring continuous field inspection.

3. Fully Customizable Battery Design

PKNERGY provides custom LiFePO4 battery and Li-ion pack designs tailored to your ultrasonic gauge housing:

• Built-in or replaceable battery structures
• Connectors: XT30, JST-PH, ZH, waterproof plugs
• Integrated PCM/BMS protection (overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short-circuit, temperature)

4. Reliability & Certifications

All battery solutions comply with international standards including UN38.3, IEC62133, CE, RoHS, and MSDS. Our packs support over 1000 charge-discharge cycles and are safe for global transportation.

Typical Application Scenarios

• Petrochemical pipelines — corrosion inspection and safety monitoring
• Shipbuilding — steel plate thickness verification
• Aerospace — aircraft structure fatigue inspection
• Power plants — boiler and pressure vessel testing
• Metallurgy — high-temperature steel quality control

These applications often require reliable power under vibration, temperature fluctuations, and long inspection cycles — scenarios where PKNERGY batteries excel.
