Get the price and delivery time for RB Series Thickness Gauge ( Beta Ray). We deliver across India.
The RB Series beta-ray thickness gauge measures the surface density of lithium battery cathode and anode coatings, using a Kr-85 beta source and a gas ionisation chamber. It scans at up to 24 m/min across a 0–1000 g/m² range. STARNUKE supplies and services it in India and handles AERB licensing for the radioactive source.

AERB licence and source handling
A gauge with a Kr-85 source is a nucleonic gauge: it needs an AERB import NOC, a licence to operate and a Radiological Safety Officer. STARNUKE handles the AERB NOC and licensing for nucleonic gauges, provides RSO services and arranges safe disposal of the source at end of life. Other battery gauges: RX X-ray, RB beta-ray, RL laser, RXL all-in-one, RBL all-in-one.
Supply and support from STARNUKE

- Annual maintenance (AMC) and service
Frequently asked questions
What does the RB gauge measure?
Surface density of battery electrode coatings, from 0 to 1000 g/m².
Does a Kr-85 gauge need AERB approval?
Yes. It needs an AERB import NOC, an operating licence and an RSO. STARNUKE handles all three.
What happens to the source at end of life?
It must be disposed of through AERB-approved routes. STARNUKE arranges radioactive source disposal.
