What Are Destructive and Nondestructive Testing?

Destructive testing (DT) and nondestructive testing (NDT) are critical for evaluating material quality and structure integrity, differing mainly in their testing approaches. DT tests materials to failure to gauge their maximum capacity, essential for stringent safety standards, while NDT assesses without damage, allowing for repeated testing, crucial for industries where safety is paramount. Both methods are vital across various sectors, ensuring component safety, performance, and reliability.
