JIS grit to micrometers
Type a value in JIS to get it in µm instantly.
21.8µm
That's 1.19× as coarse as P1000 wet-and-dry for paint, while P320 paper between coats is 2.1× coarser.
Convert the other way: µm to JIS
What it means
How coarse is that grit?
Average particle sizes from FEPA (ISO 6344), ANSI B74.12/B74.18 and JIS R6001. Brands and bonds vary; treat values between listed grits as estimates.
The math
How to convert JIS to µm
Grit scales are tables: P220 = 68 µm = CAMI 220, but P1000 = 18.3 µm ≈ CAMI 600. Between listed grits the size is interpolated.
Example: #564 JIS = 21.8 µm.
