Chapter 7: Test results and reports
Determining the strength of the string
To help you determine the strength of the string, use
the percentages of the reference value from

ranges of reference value percentages, jar condition, and a
recommended action to take.
Archiving test results
Archiving test data on site can help you:
• Compare results for changes or trends in string
performance
• Recognize when your string needs maintenance
or repair
