We present results of spectroscopic observations of selected stars in the southern open cluster NGC 6134 .
We have determined the rotational velocities of the six known \delta Scuti stars in NGC 6134 as well as several other non-variable stars with similar colour temperature in order to investigate if v \sin i and variability is somehow connected : we find no such correlation .
We also compare the distribution of v \sin i of \delta Scuti stars and non-variable stars with four other well-studied open clusters to look for any systematic behaviour , but we find no conclusive evidence for v \sin i and variability to be connected .
We have also used the spectra to carry out an abundance analysis of the \delta Scuti stars in NGC 6134 to confirm the high metal content of the cluster .
We find [ { Fe / H } ] = +0.38 \pm 0.05 which is in agreement with the result obtained from Strömgren photometry .
We also present \Delta a photometry of the cluster , but we find no chemical peculiar stars based on this index .
