Metallographic sandpaper is a commonly used consumable material for metallographic grinding and polishing by our metallographic engineers. Due to the different execution standards of metallographic sandpaper in the current market, there may be differences in labeling when purchasing, which often brings a lot of inconvenience.


I often encounter users asking, do you have 1000 mesh metallographic sandpaper at home? Do you have size 1000 metallographic sandpaper at home? Do you have P1000 metallographic sandpaper at home? Do you have W10 metallographic sandpaper at home? These different titles stem from the use of different standards.

    Let me explain the meanings of the above terms to everyone:


1. &quo; Objective; The meaning of "mesh" refers to the number of mesh holes in a sieve or the number of grinding medium particles within a 1 square inch area, which in this case refers to the size of the grinding medium particle size. Due to 1 inch=2.54cm, it can be inferred that 1000 mesh is equivalent to a particle size of 25.4 μ M& Ldquo; Objective; The larger the number, the finer the metallographic sandpaper.


2. &quo; 1000; It refers to the American standard, with a grinding medium particle size of 8.4 μ m. &quo; Number” The larger the number in front, the finer the metallographic sandpaper.


3. &quo; P1000” Refers to the European standard, with a grinding medium particle size of 18 μ M& Ldquo; P” The larger the number, the finer the metallographic sandpaper.


4. &quo; W10” It is a standard code indicating that the particle size of the metallographic sandpaper grinding medium is 10 μ M& Ldquo; W” The larger the number after it, the thicker the metallographic sandpaper, and vice versa.


At present, the mainstream general standards in the market are concentrated in the American and European standards, which are widely recognized and adopted. However, due to inconsistent standards, it always brings many inconveniences to work. It would be much more convenient to have a comparison table of two standard parameters using metallographic sandpaper,


The editor has consulted relevant materials and compiled a comparison table of metallographic sandpaper models and thicknesses. What are you looking for; Metallographic sandpaper model and thickness; That's all there. As follows:

    The comparison table for the two execution standard parameters of the metallographic sandpaper mentioned above is for your reference.


Of course, to determine the specific model of metallographic sandpaper, it is also necessary to provide accurate parameter information such as the shape, size, and whether there is adhesive backing. Different manufacturers have different models of metallographic sandpaper. But everything changes, and it's not a problem to choose the metallographic sandpaper model you want mainly based on parameters such as shape, size, backing, and grinding medium particle size. I hope the above explanation can bring convenience to your work.
