Metal plates for some boilers may be rolled to a thickness of 12 inches, while foil for wrapping cigarettes and candy can be .0003 inches thick. Rolls used in metal rolling are of various sizes and geometries. In flat rolling processes, during industrial manufacture, the rolls may typically be 24 to 54 inches in diameter. In some metal rolling operations, in the forming of very thin work, the rolls can be as small as 1/4 inch.
