Types of Testing

Destructive testing is changes the dimensions or physical


and structural integrity of the specimen. (It is essentially
destroyed during the test)
e.g., Tensile, Compression, Shear and Rockwell Hardness
Non-Destructive testing does not affect the structural
integrity of the sample.
( A measurement that does not effect the specimen in any way)
e.g., weighing, measurements etc.
