This paper presents results from an experimental study of the time related behavior of polyester fibres and ropes. Results from creep and relaxation tests performed at different constituent levels are given, from single fibre tests through yarn, rope yarn and sub-rope up to tests on full size 500 ton break load parallel strand ropes. Results will be discussed in terms of applications, and the usefulness of subscale testing will be evaluated. A system to allow strains to be measured continuously in service is proposed.
