Abstract
Measurements were made of the strength and stretch of viscose rayon yarns at values of relative humidity ranging from 43 to 74%. It was found that the strength decreases and the stretch in creases as the relative humidity is increased. Both effects are ap proximately linear in the region observed. The change in strength is 2.58 grams, in stretch .047%, for each 1% change in relative hu midity. Stretch-load diagrams are shown, and it appears there that the "yield" region decreases and the "work hardening" region in creases with increased relative humidity. Correlation is found to exist between strength and stretch of individual specimens. The best estimate of the coefficient of cor relation is + 0.185.
