What Do Grit, Mesh, and Micron Mean?
Grit refers to the size of particles embedded in an abrasive material. The higher the grit, the finer the abrasive. There are different standards for grit used internationally and by manufacturers. For example, just because a polish or compound is labeled as 14,000 grit doesn’t mean that all its content is that size. It depends on the methods used to make and grade the compound. Some manufacturers use an average particle size and some use a “nothing larger than” standard, and so on.

Mesh refers to the number of evenly spaced holes in a screen per square inch. This refers to a traditional technique used to winnow material through a series of screens with increasingly finer mesh sizes. Particles stopped by a screen of a particular mesh were measured by that mesh number.
A micron is a unit (one 10-6 of a meter) used to measure the size of particles in an abrasive material.
