Defenitions: strip or coil?

Defenitions: strip or coil?

Defenitions: strip or coil?

(OP)
Hello.
I have this disagreement with one of our product engineers.
We are in search of 4130 coil. We have a spec ASTM-A-505 that talks about sheet and strip only. My opinion is that strip and coil are the same things. And he doubts that. Please could anyone refer us to a written document that would confirm that I am right or wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Alex.

RE: Defenitions: strip or coil?

The way we use it, strip gets wound up into a coil but so does wire.  If it gets wound up around something it is a spool.  

The best thing to do, in my experience, is to agree with him, explain that a lot of the world uses it wrong and make the description painfully clear wherever you need to.
