The dimensional changes of partially oriented (PO) polyester yarns subjected to dry and wet heat under different tensions and at different temperatures are described. The mechanical properties of the PO yarns, together with those of the heated yarns, have been measured. A tentative theory of the changes in structure taking place in the yarns is suggested.
