Tests conducted on a sample of the final product, which imply its destruction (tensile strength tests, flattening tests, etc.).
Mechanical tests performed on a sample of tubing resulting in the sample's destruction. e.g.; tensile, yield, elongation, hardness, flare, flatten, reverse bend and burst.
The testing of tube properties, such as tensile strength, yield strength, hardness, burst pressure and bending.
A test to determine the point at which a device catastrophically fails.
The testing of a product to destruction (or more commonly with software to the point where the software and/or data need to be reloaded from backup).
Generic term for all material tests, which result in destruction of the component. These test methods include the mechanic-technologic tests as well as the corrosion test methods.
In destructive testing, tests are carried out to the specimen’s failure. These tests are generally much easier to carry out, yield more information, and are easier to interpret than nondestructive testing.
