nondestruktiva

Nondestruktiva, or nondestructive in English, is a broad term used in science, engineering, and preservation to describe methods, analyses, or processes that do not cause permanent alteration or damage to the object under study. It contrasts with destructive testing, where the test specimen is altered or consumed. In practice, nondestruktiva encompasses techniques designed to reveal properties such as integrity, composition, or performance while preserving the item.

The largest domain is nondestructive testing (NDT), which uses noninvasive techniques to inspect materials and components.

Applications span manufacturing quality control, aerospace, automotive, energy, civil infrastructure, and cultural heritage preservation. In archaeology

Standards and competency frameworks govern nondestruktiva practice. International and national bodies publish guidance, procedure requirements, and

Advantages include preserving the object, enabling repeated measurements over time, and often faster decision-making. Limitations include
