KARL GEORG QUALITY IS MEASURABLE

From the smallest pinion with keyway to the 2.5 ton impeller with module 14 x 76 toothing. When you choose one of our products, you get a sophisticated, first-class product that customers worldwide can rely on. The high manufacturing accuracy and continuous quality control to the highest standards contribute to the high reliability and long service life of systems with Karl Georg components.

On request, we can prove this standard with material test certificates from 2.1 to 3.2 in accordance with DIN EN 10204. Thanks to the continuous qualification of our employees and our modern testing equipment, we can offer a wide range of tests such as hardness testing, ultrasonic testing, MT/PT crack testing in accordance with standards or customer requirements directly ex works.

We offer further tests in cooperation with accredited partners. We are authorized to restamp metallic workpieces to ensure complete traceability of the materials used.

ISO 14001 Certification

The ISO 14001 certification we received in March 2023 is another building block in our commitment to environmental protection and the continuous improvement of our environmental performance. For example, we have installed a state-of-the-art painting and drying facility with energy recovery, which enables us to significantly reduce energy consumption and increase the efficiency of our production processes. By using environmentally friendly paints and installing this new facility, we have been able to reduce the proportion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by over 50%, which has led to a significant reduction in our CO₂ emissions.

We have also taken extensive measures to minimize the use of hazardous substances in our production processes, which not only protects the environment, but also the health of our employees and local residents. A key objective of our environmental strategy is to reduce waste and increase the recycling rate. Through optimized processes and targeted measures, we have been able to significantly reduce our waste volume and considerably increase the proportion of recyclable materials.

The success of our environmental measures depends largely on our employees. We therefore attach great importance to raising their awareness and training them. Regular training and information campaigns ensure that environmental awareness is firmly anchored in our corporate culture.

Another highlight of our environmental initiatives is the installation of a solar system with a capacity of 800 kWp on the roofs of our office and production buildings. This system provides us with renewable energy and significantly reduces our dependence on fossil fuels.

With these measures and our continuous commitment to improvement, we show that we take environmental protection and sustainable business seriously. The ISO 14001 certification is a further incentive for us to continuously expand our contribution to a sustainable future.

CERTIFIED TEST METHODS (LEVEL 2)

ULTRASONIC TESTING
(UT)

Our advanced ultrasonic inspection process enables the reliable detection of internal defects and irregularities in various materials.By using high-frequency sound waves, we ensure precise and accurate inspections without damaging the material. Rely on our expertise to ensure the integrity and quality of your products.

COLOR PENETRATION TEST (PT)

Our dye penetrant process offers a simple and cost-effective method for identifying surface defects in metals, plastics and ceramics. Using a special colored liquid, we make even the smallest cracks and pores visible. Maximize the quality of your products with our reliable and sensitive testing technology.

 

MAGNETIC PARTICLE CRACK TESTING
(MT)

Our magnetic particle crack detection is the ideal solution for detecting surface and near-surface defects in ferromagnetic materials.Through magnetization and the use of fine magnetic particles, we make even the smallest defects visible. Rely on our process to ensure the safety and durability of your products.

 

FURTHER TEST PROCEDURES

OPTICAL 3D
MEASUREMENT METHOD

Our optical 3D measurement processes offer a revolutionary option for the detailed and non-contact inspection of your components. Using state-of-the-art technology, we capture precise three-dimensional data that enables you to carry out comprehensive analysis and quality control. Rely on our expertise to take your product development to the next level.

 

HEARING TEST
(HRC, HV, HB)

Our hardness testing methods according to Rockwell (HRc), Vickers (HV) and Brinell (HB) offer you precise and reliable results for determining material hardness. Regardless of your industry, we ensure the quality and durability of your materials. Rely on our many years of experience to maximize the performance and reliability of your products.
