Godet Draw Ratio & Molecular Orientation Predictor

Every point of tenacity drawing buys is paid for in elongation. The draw ratio sets both at once — there is no setting that gives only the good half.

The tenacity exponent and the inverse elongation rule are empirical and only hold inside the polymer's workable draw window — past the natural draw ratio the yarn does not get stronger, it breaks. Draw temperature moves both relationships, so fit the exponent at the temperature you actually run.
