Abstract

Width gages became available in the early 1950's and were quickly embraced as essential tools for the efficient production of metal strip. With several suppliers offering similar products, it soon became difficult to find a hot strip mill anywhere that operated without one. In order to choose between the many width gages on offer today it is important to know how they work, what their specifications mean, and which specifications are truly relevant to both old and new width gage applications.
