Types of destructive testing
　　
1. Aggressive environment testing
　　
This includes fracture and fatigue testing in acidic (H2S), acidic (CO2) and other corrosive environments; over certain temperatures and pressures. These tests allow the industry to assess the impact of these conditions on materials and performance.

2. corrosion testing
　　
This includes non-toxic, small-scale, water-borne corrosion testing in a variety of different environments, including fresh water and seawater.
　　
3. Fracture and mechanical testing
　　
This includes different types of destructive testing methods such as tensile testing, bending testing, Charpy impact testing, Pellini drop weight testing, peel testing, crush testing, pressure and rupture testing. In addition to metal testing, fracture and mechanical testing can also be performed on different materials, such as welded polymers, including plastic pipes.
　　
4. fatigue testing
　　
These tests are performed in air or seawater environments and are used to test the durability of base metals and welded joints under constant or variable amplitude loads. This destructive test method can also be used for fatigue crack growth testing of welds, base metals and heat-affected zones.
　　
5. Hydrogen test
　　
These tests cover materials that pose a risk of corrosion due to exposure to hydrogen. These tests can be performed at a variety of different temperatures and strain rates.
　　
6. residual stress measurement
　　
Residual stress is the stress that remains in a solid material after the original cause of any stress has been eliminated. These may be intentional, such as scratch-resistant glass on smartphones, or they may be unintentional and may cause premature structural failure. Measurement of residual stress allows designers and engineers to determine factors such as near-surface and full-thickness residual stress distributions that can be used in engineering critical assessments.
