There’s more to it than meets the eye — quality testing! And yeah, I know, nondestructive testing, or NDT, is the cool kid on the block. It’s like using X-ray vision on your materials without destroying them! But hold on- there’s a whole lot more to quality testing than just NDT! First up, there’s tensile testing — this is where we grab a material by both ends and pull it apart until it snaps! Why? Because we need to know its breaking point — the exact moment it says, 'No more!' Then there’s pressure testing — hydrostatic and pneumatic- leak, proof and burst. But wait, there’s even more! We’ve got load testing — we put materials through cycles of stress, bending and flexing them over and over. It’s like running a marathon versus sprinting. Can it handle repeated use, or is it gonna give up after 10 laps? Read the Quality Examiner Newsletter article at: https://lnkd.in/gVW-ayZs
