roll; (2) an end or short length of carpet or remnant.

Extra heavy traffic
More than 10,000 traffics per day or more than 2,000,000
traffics for the life of the carpet. Could also include some directional,
nondirectional, pivoting and rolling traffic, as well as tracked-in
dirt. (See "Foot traffic units.")

Extrusion
Second stage of nylon production:
The process of forcing molten material through a spinnerette
(similar to a showerhead). Once exposed to air cooling, the fibre
strands harden. It is at the extrusion stage that many of the fibre
engineering improvements take place: cross section design, shape,
size and uniformity to give better soil hiding, soil releasing, and
strength. All synthetic carpet fibres are extruded.
