FEPA P-grade · Converted
P80 in CAMI grit and microns.
P80 paper averages about 201 µm on the FEPA table. On the US CAMI scale that is about CAMI 80. A sheet printed plain "80" is about 190 µm, close enough that the P barely matters at this grade.

Sizes are average particle diameters from the published FEPA (ISO 6344) and CAMI (ANSI B74.12/B74.18) tables. "Nearest" means within 10%; otherwise both neighbors are shown. Trizact pairings are 3M's own. Sources: Wikipedia, "Sandpaper" grit table (rev. 1127917881); Klingspor coated abrasives grit chart.
