For more than 65 years, the Allianz Center for Technology (AZT) has been
engaged in the investigation of the causes of damage and losses, and in the
prevention of technical damages and operational downtime for insurance
companies, and for operators and manufacturers of machines and industrial
equipment. Our core competencies include the analysis of technical damages,
the investigation of causes of fire, the creation of restoration and
rebuilding strategies, the monitoring of machines and equipment, and
consulting in matters of quality management, environmental management and
safety in the workplace.
Our technical testing activities:
-
Onsite investigations with the goal of defect identification, defect
characterization and defect evaluation of components and assemblies, using
non-destructive testing methods
-
Testing of surface fractures with liquid penetrant testing, drag
torque/eddy current testing, and magnetic powder testing methods
-
Volume assessment and wall thickness measurement using
ultrasound/ultrasonics
-
Estimation of defect/nonconformity depth using the potential probe method
or ultrasound/ultrasonic techniques
-
Identification of the surface finish, at the premises or in the
laboratory, using the tactile incision technique (measurement of surface
roughness)
-
Indirect surface evaluation with plastic cast impression to document or
determine the surface structure (macro region)
-
Surface imprints by means of the replica technique for structure and
defect determination
-
Onsite hardness testing with UCI, Equotip and Poldi techniques
-
Conventional and video endoscopy in connection with peripheral devices and
tests (eddy current probe, micro sampling extraction and coating
extraction, video documentation)
-
Use of miniature cameras in conjunction with the use of special equipment
for visual diagnoses
-
Sampling on-site for laboratory examinations (wipe and conventional
shuttle sampling)
-
Near-nondestructive sampling with a mobile sphere cutting device
-
Examinations of material surfaces and documentation with a digital
microscope
-
Leak testing by means of an ultrasonic detector
