Explain to a colleague the basis for the ASTM Grain size number?
ASTM grain size number is equation relating number of grains per in² at 100X. The equation is
n= 2G-1
Where n is the number of grains per in² at 100X and G is the ASTM grain size number.
ASTM grain size number is calculated by
G = 3.321928 logNa - 2.954
Where Na is the number of grains per mm² at 1X and G is rounded off to nearest tenth value.
ASTM grain size number was introduced in 1951 by an undocumented timken member of E-4 Committee when E91- 51T was introduced.
