In Dutch technical literature it may describe wires that are produced to a trapezoidal profile by rolling or drawing, or wires that are intended to fit into trapezoidal grooves or fittings.
Manufacturing and materials are context dependent. Trapeziumdraad can be made from common wire materials such as
Properties and applications vary with the profile and material. Compared with round wire, a trapezoidal cross‑section
Standards and documentation for trapeziumdraad differ by country and application. Users should consult material specifications, machining
