Cloth backing is used for sandpaper discs and belts, while PET film is used as backing for extremely fine grits. Fibre or <a href="/wiki/Vulcanization" title="Vulcanization">vulcanized</a> fibre is a strong backing material consisting of many layers of polymer impregnated paper. The weight of the backing is usually designated by a letter. For paper backings, the weight ratings range from "A" to "F", with A designating the lightest and F the heaviest. Letter nomenclature follows a different system for cloth backings, with the weight of the backing rated J, X, Y, T, and M, from lightest to heaviest. A flexible backing allows sandpaper to follow irregular contours of a workpiece; relatively inflexible backing is optimal for regular rounded or flat surfaces. Sandpaper backings may be glued to the paper or form a separate support structure for moving sandpaper, such as used in sanding belts and discs. Stronger paper or backing increases the ease of sanding wood. The harder the backing material, the faster the sanding, the faster the wear of the paper and the rougher the sanded surface. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Fitting">Fitting</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Sandpaper&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Fitting"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Quick_Change_Disc.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4d/Quick_Change_Disc.jpg/220px-Quick_Change_Disc.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4d/Quick_Change_Disc.jpg/330px-Quick_Change_Disc.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4d/Quick_Change_Disc.jpg/440px-Quick_Change_Disc.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="768" /></a><figcaption>Examples of sanding discs using a quick-change mounting system</figcaption></figure> <p>A quick-change system is commonly used with disc-type coated abrasives.

The FEPA system is the same as the <a href="/wiki/ISO_6344" title="ISO 6344">ISO 6344</a> standard. Other systems used in sandpaper include the <a href="/wiki/Japanese_Industrial_Standards_Committee" title="Japanese Industrial Standards Committee">Japanese Industrial Standards Committee</a> (JIS), the micron grade (generally used for very fine grits). Cheaper sandpapers may sometimes only use descriptive nomenclature such as "coarse", "medium" and "fine" without referring to any standard. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2
