Remarks: Losses Losses in the windup reel and uncoiler must also be considered. Page 41 of 79 The total rolling load is distributed over the arc of contact in the typical friction-hill pressure distribution. However the total rolling load can be assumed to be concentrated at a point along the act of contact at a distance a from the line of centres of t he rolls. The ratio of the moment arm a to the projected length of the act of contact Lp can be given as = a a =  LP R h Where λ is 0.5 for hot-rolling and 0.45 for cold-rolling. The torque MT is equal to the total rolling load P multiplied by the effective moment arm a. Since there are two work rolls, the torque is given by MT = 2Pa During one revolution of the top roll the resultant rolling load P moves along the circumference of a circle equal to 2πa. Since there are two work rolls, the work done W is equal to  Work = 2(2 a)P   Since power is defined as the rate of doing work, i.e., 1 W = 1 J s -1, the power (in watts) needed to operated a pair of rolls revolving at N Hz (s -1) in deforming metal as it flows through the roll gap is given by W = 4 aPN   Where P is in Newton’s and a is in metre.
