    Lapidary Grit Chart

    Uploaded by

    Оливер Карески
    This document provides information about diamond grit size designations and particle sizes. It explains that grit sizes represent a range of diamond crystal sizes used in manufacturing. For example, a 150 grit wheel contains crystals ranging from 105-88 microns. It also includes a table that lists standard USA grit sizes, their Inland equivalents, approximate particle sizes in both microns and inches, and the number of particles in one carat for each size.

    Diamond Grit Size Designations, Approximate Particle Sizes, and Counts

    The diamond grit designations for diamond lapidary tools actually represent a range of diamond particle sizes used to manufacture that designation. For example a 150 grit diamond wheel is actually a 140/170 grit wheel made up of diamond crystals
    ranging in size from 105-88 microns or .004-.0036 inches in diameter.
    Inland lists grit size for all their diamond products by the standard US convention of labeling after the larger size diamond.
    For example, an Inland 60 grit diamond wheel is made from diamond grit size 60/ 80 range. If you are used to seeing a single
    number grit size, all you need to do is find the range which that grit falls into and then use the lower number of that range for
    the comparable Inland diamond product.
