Reliable Power for Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges

Ultrasonic thickness gauges are essential tools in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), widely used in petrochemical plants, shipbuilding, aerospace, power grids, and steel manufacturing. Accurate thickness measurement ensures safety, quality control, and long-term asset reliability. Behind stable measurement performance lies a critical component — the battery system.

PKNERGY provides custom lithium battery solutions designed specifically for industrial inspection and testing equipment.

Common Battery Pain Points in Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges

Insufficient runtime: Ordinary disposable batteries often support only a few hours of field operation, requiring frequent replacements and interrupting inspection work.
Temperature sensitivity: Capacity drops sharply in cold outdoor environments or high-temperature industrial sites, sometimes causing sudden device shutdowns.
Safety risks: Leakage, swelling, or high internal resistance can lead to inaccurate readings or damage to precision instruments.
Inconvenient replacement & logistics: Disposable batteries increase procurement frequency, transportation costs, and environmental impact.

PKNERGY Battery Advantages for Ultrasonic Thickness Gauges

1. High Energy Density & Long Runtime

PKNERGY battery packs are built using high-quality cylindrical lithium-ion cells such as 18650, 21700, and 26650, with single-cell capacities ranging from 1200mAh to 4800mAh. Common pack configurations include 7.4V, 11.1V, and 14.8V to match different ultrasonic gauge designs.

Compared with conventional batteries, our lithium-ion battery packs deliver up to 2–3× longer runtime in real inspection scenarios.

2. Wide Temperature Performance

For harsh field conditions, PKNERGY offers lithium-ion and LiFePO4 battery pack solutions that operate reliably from –30 ℃ to +60 ℃. Even in sub-zero environments, batteries retain over 80% usable capacity, ensuring uninterrupted testing.

3. Customizable Battery Design

Every ultrasonic thickness gauge has unique structural and electrical requirements. PKNERGY supports full customization, including:

Battery pack dimensions tailored to equipment housing
Built-in or replaceable battery designs
Connector options: XT30, JST-PH, ZH, and waterproof connectors
Integrated PCM/BMS protection (overcharge, over-discharge, overcurrent, short-circuit, temperature)
