The Essence of Material Testing
When engineers design equipment and structures, they define the essential physical properties of the construction materials. Destructive testing is pivotal in material verification, ensuring alignment with the engineer's design specifications and compliance with regulatory standards. Whether during initial manufacture, such as pipe mill inspections, or during structural welding tests post-fabrication, material verification remains crucial.
