BEND TEST	FRACTURE TEST	HARDNESS TEST	IMPACT TEST	MACROSCOPIC EXAMINATION	TENSILE TEST
Destructive Test (DT) involves performing mechanical test on materials to obtain mechanical properties. Typical example is to test weld sample to ensure sound weld metal and to reveal welding defects.

Bend Test		Bend test determines soundness and ductility of materials.			Top
Fracture Test		Fracture test determines resistance to the extension of a crack in materials.			Top
Hardness Test		Hardness test determines the ability of a material to resist indentation, or penetration.			Top
Impact Test		Impact test determines the ability of material to absorb energy.			Top
Macro-Exam		Macroscopic Examination is used to reveal the number of weld passes, the penetration of the weld, the extent of weld undercut, the extent of the heat-affected zone (HAZ), and gross discontinuities.			Top
Tensile Test		Tensile test determines the ability of a material to withstand an applied load. Tensile test gives a great amount of information about a material such as ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, ductility, percent elongation, percent reduction of area, modulus of elasticity, proportional limit, elastic limit and toughness.
