The change of crystalline structure and mechanical properties of drawn PP filaments which was treated by tensioned and non-tensioned annealing was investigated. Measurements were carried out with XRD for crystallite size, density gradient tube for crystallinity. and UTM for mechanical properties. Tensioend and non-tensioned annealing were carried out $80^{\circ}C$, $100^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$: for 10min., 30min., 60min, in oil bath. It was found that the crystallinity and crystallite size of (110) plane of samples were increased with increasing of annealed temperature and time. Also crystallinity and crystallite size of samples which was tensioned annealing were larger than those of non-tensioned annealed samples. Initial modulus and tensile strength of tensioned annealed samples were higher than non-tensioned annealed samples, But elongation of tensioned annealed samples was lower than non-tensioned annealed samples.
