Destructive and Non Destructive Testing:
Nondestructive testing or Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component surface & subsurface without causing damage or effect to their future performance or properties. Non-destructive testing is used to detect abnormalities in physical, chemical or electrical characteristics.
In Destructive Testing, tests are carried out to the specimen's failure, in order to understand a specimen's structural performance or material behaviour under different loads. These tests are generally much easier to carry out, yield more information, and are easier to interpret than non destructive testing.
Destructive testing is most suitable, and economic, for objects which will be mass-produced, as the cost of destroying a small number of specimens is negligible.
Non-destructive testing is a scientific term. When a scientist studies a piece of material they often have to break it down to study what it's made of. With non-destructive testing the object is kept intact and not modified.
The difference between static load testing and dynamic load testing is that with static load testing a certain percentage of a product is tested against a group of specifications. During dynamic testing each individual product is tested against a group of standards based on previous tests.

Water, with surface tension and higher viscosity than air, will not show the smallest leaks air will show. For very sensitive testing, helium is also used.

A Tensile testing machine also called as tension testing is used as a fundamental material in science in which a sample or specimen is subjected to a certain amount of tension until its failure. This is commonly used in quality control testing.

The advantage of nondestructive tests is you still have something at the end of the test that is useful. A destructive test takes the product to its' breaking point and beyond.

Nondestructive testing is used when people want to test the durability of a material, component, or system without damaging it. It is commonly used in varied engineering, art, and medicine.
