AGC cylinders (automatic gauge control)

Rolling-mill cylinders used as part of automatic gauge control.

Updated 1 min read

In the recovered glossary, A.G.C. means automatic gauge control. Hydraulic cylinders form part of the rolling-mill system used to adjust the roll gap and control strip thickness.

When buying or selling: specify the finished thickness tolerance and inspection basis. A mill-equipment description is not a certificate for a coil.
