English term or phrase: mult
"while cutting mults with a nibbler at the slitter recoiler"

Does anybody know how to translate "mult"? This text is in a report for a Steel Company. Here is my translation:

mientras cortaba xxxx con una recortadora de chapa en la embobinadora de tiras.

I would appreciate your prompt reply. Thanks.

rodillo del ancho especificado


Explanation:
Encontré un glosario "Metal Fabricating Glossary" que en https://www.thefabricator.com/glossary/slit-mult define:

slit mult:
noun
Definitions
A roll of coiled steel from a steel mill which has already been cut to specification from a master coil. Also called slit-to-width coil.

No pude encontrar una traducción adecuada en diccionarios ni en la web. En caso de no encontrar nada mejor, y en base a la definición indicada arriba, me arriesgaría con "rodillo del ancho especificado"

"múltiple" - tira de metal / tira de acero


Explanation:
Sin estar ducho en el tema, aquí parece que se refieren a cortar "tiras de metal", y en concreto "tiras de acero"...

La definición de mult, del mismo sitio que aporta Enrique:

A narrow strip of metal created by slitting or shearing a coil into any width or set of widths that can be fed into a tube mill, roll former, or press. An abbreviation for multiple.
