sträcka

Swedish term or phrase: sträcka
Hi all,

I urgently need to know what sträcka means in the following context:

Banden inglödgas (endast vissa sorter), blästras och betas i sträcka 11 innan kall-valsning.

It occurs a lot in the text (about steel) and is often followed by a number. My thought was that it may mean 'stage' as in there are different stages in the process (of cold-rolling, for example) - does anyone have ANY suggestions?!

Many thanks all!

Explanation:
I have a feeling that the different operations at
a steel mill or a rolling mile take place on separate
lines.

Typically Sträcka in Swedish is used to indicated a stretch land or an area. So it could also be that this should be included in area 11.
