The method of sectioning or partial replacement ranks where in terms of aggressiveness?

In the context of container inspection, the method of sectioning or partial replacement is considered to be second most aggressive. This determination is primarily based on how invasive the inspection process is compared to other methods.

Sectioning involves creating openings or removing parts of the container to assess its structural integrity and internal conditions. This level of intervention is more involved than non-invasive methods, such as visual inspections or non-destructive testing, which are deemed less aggressive. However, compared to fully destructive methods, where the container is entirely taken apart, sectioning does not reach that level of invasiveness. Therefore, it finds its place in the hierarchy of methods used for assessing containers as being second most aggressive.

Understanding the context of these various methods helps in evaluating not only the potential damage that might occur to the container but also the thoroughness of the inspection being performed, ensuring that inspections are conducted with the appropriate method for the situation at hand.
