What is the difference between strip and coil?

Answer:

The coil is a thin steel sheet with a thickness of not more than 6 mm, usually less than 3 millimeters, but is rolled with a large mill due to its wide width. The width of the rolled strip is no more than 0.2 meters; the mill used is small, of course, the same thickness of the same material, the price of the coil is also more expensive than strip.
Coil generally refers to the strip width not less than 600mm, can generally be divided into Kaiping steel plate or longitudinal strip, standard and plate together, such as: carbon and low alloy structural steel plates and strips. Strip width is generally less than 600mm.
The strip and the coil is the main raw material for the production of welded steel pipe, the steel pipe manufacturing is mainly manufacturing process for spiral welded pipe used for steel roll uncoiling, leveling, trimming, molding, welding, welded pipe must be used for sheet forming and welding, if the steel roll uncoiling leveling must also be cut into leaflets the use of steel plate.
