Retesting jar posts or straps
Factors such as operating and site conditions, and
manufacturer changes, can affect test results. If you accept
results under these conditions, your maintenance routine
might not have an accurate history. To verify results, you can
retest a set of jar posts or straps right after you test them. Or
you can test the rest of the string before you retest certain
jar posts or straps.
