DESTRUCTIVE TEST
Destructive testing (DT) is a form of object analysis that involves applying a test to break down a particular material to determine its physical properties, such as the mechanical properties of strength, toughness, flexibility, and hardness. It is most frequently used as a test for mass-produced items in which the cost of destroying a limited number of specimens is economically feasible.
Destructive testing is used in occupational health and safety settings to verify the protective capacity of safety equipment or to ensure that a safety-vital part of a structure doesn’t fail. Destructive testing may also be used to verify the ability of safety equipment to continue to function under stressors unrelated to the protective service being provided, such as the ability of a respirator to continue functioning under extremely high temperatures or other physically demanding conditions.
Core Drill
Is a hollow, cylindrical drill that is used to make holes through a surface. It is made of metal, and the drill tips are usually coated with either diamond or carbide. A core drill is composed of a motor, handle, and drill bits. The main difference between a core drill and other cement cutting tools is that a core drill will extract a sample from the material. The center of the drill is hollow, allowing it to carve out a sample from the drilled material. This sample, called a core sample, conforms to the shape of the hollow walls of the drill.
Concrete Carbonation Test
Is tested with the straightforward use of a chemical indicator; the most commonly used indicator is a solution of phenolphthalein in alcohol and/or water. Phenolphthalein solution applied to fresh strongly alkaline concrete will turn pink. If the alkalinity has been lost the concrete will not turn pink. In practice it is essential that the phenolphthalein solution is applied to freshly exposed concrete. The other methods of sampling, which is based on collecting the powder during a perforation carried out using a common percussion drill. A collecting device (picker), designed in careful detail to optimize the powder flow, has been developed to implement the method. Proper designing of the collection container allows analysis of the powder, making use of the chemical color change of phenolphthalein in a quick and accurate manner.
Pull Out and Test
Involves attaching a small piece of equipment to the exterior bolt, nut, screw or fixing. This is then pulled to the designated stress load level to determine how strong and secure bonding of material surface structure the fixing is. and to know the materials used for bonding may be different, by this method to estimate the tensile strength and bonding of material surface structure
