48、.2 Testing of posts, tensioning devices, rope and rope attachments a) Assemble the whole volleyball equipment (posts and net) by putting the posts in their sockets (Type 1) or bases (Type 2) and erect the net as intended for normal use. b) Insert a force measuring device, capable of measuring 10 N,
49、in the top net line between the net and the posts. c) Provide a suitable reference datum, passing through the axis of the top net line 100 mm outside one post. This remains in place throughout the test. NOTE Suitable reference datum would be a straight edge fixed to the lower 50 mm of the post (see Figure 3) or a plumb line suspended outside the post. d) Increase the tension in the top net line until the appropriate initial force F1is achieved (see Table 7). e) Measure the maximum gap d1between the post and the vertical reference da
