Thickness
The gauge or depth of a material.
Tolerance
The permissible variation from a specification for any characteristic
of the product.
Tolerance types
In the roll forming process four types of tolerances are routinely
measured including dimensional cross-sectional, length, angular, and
material straightness.
Tool longevity
The time a tool lasts before it must be replaced since it can no
longer hold the required tolerances. Long-lasting tools are made from
high-carbon, high-chrome hardened tool steel.
Truckload or Trailer load
A quantity of commodities, including primary and secondary metals,
weighing as much as 44,000 pounds, the standard weight limit on U.S.
highways.
Trimming
Removing excess metal from a sheet to slightly adjust width or length
dimensions.
Cutting scrap off a partially or fully shaped part to an established
trim line.
Twist
Twist is a term used to define parts when they resemble a corkscrew
effect. This is often caused by excessive forming pressure in the
final formed part. Twist should be less than 5° in 10 feet of
roll formed parts. See bow, curve,
camber, and sweep.
Uncoiler
A device that supports the coil while allowing the material to be
fed into the roll forming machine without causing extreme drag and
overrun.
Yield strength
The maximum stress that can be applied to a material without permanent
deformation of that material.
