    Grit Comparison Chart

    Uploaded by

    Alex Lomakov
    This document provides a comparison of abrasive grit sizes across different standards and abrasive materials. It begins with tables listing abrasive grit sizes in microns for various ANSI, FEPA, JIS, and brand standards. It then provides more details on the standards and variances. The document aims to show equivalencies between different abrasive labeling systems despite using different testing methods.

    Old JIS standard is measured via sedimentation tube - Used until 1973
    New JIS standard measured via electrical resistance - Used since 1973
    Shapton sizes are from their web site www.shaptonstones.com
    ~ Tormek compound contains a variety of grains of various size, the smallest down to 0.7 micron. The average effective size is 3 micron.
    It is impossible to make exact comparisons between all the different abrasives because different standards are used for average, minimum and maximum size, the percentage allowed outside
    those limits, and the distribution of sizes within those limits, but this list is the closest comparison available since all entries are compared to microns by their respective manufacturers.
