German term or phrase: abgewickelte Länge
In a text on crude oil processing facilities:
Der Ölabzug erfolgt über ein ringförmiges im oberen Teil des Tanks angebrachtes Überlaufwehr. Die abgewickelte Überlaufwehrlänge von etwa 50 m ist mit ca. 150 V-förmigen Schlitzen versehen, durch die das Öl in die Überlaufrinne fließt.
Is this something like "extended length"?
