GRAIN SIZE
20/40, 30/60 or 80 mesh?
Mesh designations describe grain size grades. Abrasive selection depends on the workpiece material, required profile, equipment settings and desired finish. A grain size designation alone does not replace a process trial.
| Grain size | Selection guidance |
|---|---|
| 20/40 mesh | Coarser grade — processing requiring a more intensive abrasive action. |
| 30/60 mesh | Medium grade — surface preparation and coating removal. |
| 80 mesh | Finer grade — selected to suit processing requirements, including compatible waterjet systems. |
These descriptions provide initial selection guidance. Confirm the final application and availability for your chosen product.
