Inspector Quality Assurance/QC Question:

Destructive testing includes methods where material is broken down to evaluate the mechanical properties, such as strength, toughness and hardness. For example, finding the quality of a weld is good enough to withstand extreme pressure and also to verify the properties of a material.

Benefits of Destructive Testing (DT):
☛ Verifies properties of a material
☛ Determines quality of welds
☛ Helps you to reduce failures, accidents and costs
☛ Ensures compliance with regulations
