Structure

The volume ratio of abrasive grains to the total volume of a grinding wheel is called the "percentage of grain." The density of the structure depends upon this percentage.

Structures 0 to 4 are referred to as dense, 5 to 9 are referred to as medium, and 10 to 14 are referred to as coarse.

	Dense					Medium					Coarse
Structure	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14
Percentage of grain(%)	62	60	58	56	54	52	50	48	46	44	42	40	38	36	34
