3.1.1 For definitions of terms related to copper and copper alloys, refer to Terminology B 846.
3.2Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:
3.2.1coil (as applied to a flat product)—a length of the product spirally wound into a series of connected turns. The unqualified
term “coil” as applied to “flat product” usually refers to a coil in which the product is spirally wound, with the successive layers
on top of one another (sometimes called a “roll”).
3.2.2level or traverse wound—a coil in which the turns are positioned into layers parallel to the axis of the coil such that
successive turns in a given layer are next to one another.
3.2.3level or traverse wound on a reel or spool— a coil in which the turns are positioned into layers on a reel or spool parallel
to the axis of the reel or spool such that successive turns in a given layer are next to one another.
3.2.4reel or spool—a cylindrical device that has a rim at each end and an axial hole for a shaft or spindle, and on which the
product is wound to facilitate handling and shipping.
3.2.5strip—a rolled flat product, other than flat wire, up to and including 0.188 in. [4.78 mm] thick, in straight lengths, coils
