Abstract

A process for the manufacture of polyamide fibers including melt spinning a polyamide having a relative viscosity of not less than 3.50 under conditions satisfying the following relationships: EQU Q/D.sup.3 .ltoreq.982 g/sec.cm.sup.3 EQU D.sup.2.Vw/Q.ltoreq.12.8 cm.sup.3 /g EQU T.sub.20 .gtoreq.100.degree. C. EQU .DELTA.n of unstretched filaments.ltoreq.0.017 The resultant filaments are then subjected to cooling, stretching and heat treatment resulting in fibers with a break strength of not less than 11.0 g/d, a break strength.times.(break elongation(%))1/2 of not less than 46.0 and a monofilament denier of not more than 60 d.
