Abstract
An account is given of a study of the changes in fabric properties caused by setting with steam in autoclaves. Dimensional stability, shear angles, thickness, and breaking strength were measured, and the influence of variations in setting conditions, such as humidity, temperature, time, pH, and mechanical pressure, was investigated. The controls necessary for eliminating end-to-end effects in whole pieces are discussed.
