OBS

Creep behavior. ASTM method D 2990 gives a test procedure for fabric creep behavior. However, the situation is very much in the research stage. Finnigan has tested polyesters and polyamides, finding that both deform linearly with respect to log time and can be used in the prediction of creep levels. These tests varied from 1 minute to 1,000 hours.
