Can usage count be used here:

Could you tell me the usage count for the reusable adhesive.

Thank you.

I guess you can, but only if you're counting the tape in rolls. E.g. "The usage count is 2 rolls."

That's not natural at all. Do you mean, "How many rolls of the reusable adhesive have we used?"

 

[B45]

No, I'm talking about how many times the reusable adhesive can be reused.

 

[Raymott]

Then, "How many times can this adhesive be reused?"

 

[B45]

So, usage count is not okay then. What does it mean anyway?

 

[Raymott]

"Usage count" doesn't mean anything to me. It might have uses in specialised fields.

How do you measure usage? The number of times used? Duration of use? Frequency of use?
