DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

Detection of imperfections by affecting the form, fit or function of the test object or material.

Mechanical or Physical Examinations

 

Tension Test - for determination of yield and ultimate strength.

Guided Bend Test - to determine the degree of soundness and ductility.

Fracture Weld Test - to determine the degree of soundness of fillet welds.

Hardness Testing - for verification of required hardness.

Concrete-Masonry - compression testing for strength.

Structural Steel Sampling - On site quality control.

Elongation - for material elasticity properties.

Macro Examination - evidence of fusion.

Acid Spot Test Metal Identification - used to determine generic identification of common materials in the following areas:

• Materials verification during receipt inspection
• Shipboard post installation material identification
• Verification of materials prior to storage
