A &#8220;36 grit&#8221; abrasive passes through a screen with 36 openings per linear inch (approximately 500 \u00b5m opening size) but is retained on the next finer screen. Critically, higher grit numbers mean finer particles \u2014 a fact that regularly confuses buyers new to abrasive specification.<\/p>\n<p>Three grit numbering systems are in common use across the abrasives industry, and confusion between them is a frequent source of procurement errors: the FEPA (Federation of European Producers of Abrasives) system used for mineral abrasives, the US ANSI mesh system, and the SAE system used for metallic abrasives (steel shot and grit). This guide provides conversion references across all three systems for the most commonly used abrasive types.<\/p>\n<div class=\"hlh-cl-highlight\"><p><strong>Key rule:<\/strong> Always specify abrasive grit size using the numbering system explicitly \u2014 &#8220;36 grit FEPA,&#8221; &#8220;20 mesh,&#8221; or &#8220;G25 SAE&#8221; \u2014 to avoid ambiguity. Specifying only &#8220;36 grit&#8221; without the system designation can result in delivery of a different particle size than intended when ordering from international suppliers.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"hlh-cl-mesh\">\n<h2 class=\"hlh-cl-h2\">Standard Mesh-to-Micron Conversion Table<\/h2>\n<div class=\"hlh-cl-table-wrap\"><table class=\"hlh-cl-table\">\n<thead><tr><th>FEPA Grit<\/th><th>US Mesh<\/th><th>Opening (\u00b5m)<\/th><th>Opening (mm)<\/th><th>General Classification<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>P12<\/td><td>16<\/td><td>1,680<\/td><td>1.68<\/td><td>Very Coarse<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P16<\/td><td>18<\/td><td>1,190<\/td><td>1.19<\/td><td>Very Coarse<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P20<\/td><td>20<\/td><td>850<\/td><td>0.85<\/td><td>Coarse<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P24<\/td><td>25<\/td><td>710<\/td><td>0.71<\/td><td>Coarse<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P30<\/td><td>30<\/td><td>595<\/td><td>0.595<\/td><td>Coarse<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P36<\/td><td>40<\/td><td>500<\/td><td>0.50<\/td><td>Medium-Coarse<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P46<\/td><td>45<\/td><td>355<\/td><td>0.355<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P60<\/td><td>60<\/td><td>250<\/td><td>0.25<\/td><td>Medium<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P80<\/td><td>80<\/td><td>180<\/td><td>0.18<\/td><td>Medium-Fine<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P100<\/td><td>100<\/td><td>150<\/td><td>0.15<\/td><td>Fine<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P120<\/td><td>120<\/td><td>125<\/td><td>0.125<\/td><td>Fine<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P150<\/td><td>150<\/td><td>106<\/td><td>0.106<\/td><td>Fine<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P180<\/td><td>180<\/td><td>90<\/td><td>0.090<\/td><td>Very Fine<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P220<\/td><td>220<\/td><td>63<\/td><td>0.063<\/td><td>Very Fine<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>P320<\/td><td>320<\/td><td>46<\/td><td>0.046<\/td><td>Ultra Fine<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section id=\"hlh-cl-alo\">\n<h2 class=\"hlh-cl-h2\">Aluminum Oxide Grit Size &amp;
