Pencil Grading Scales

Pencils

Many pencils across the world are graded on the European system using a scale from "H" (for hardness) to "B" (for blackness), as well as "F", a letter arbitrarily chosen to indicate midway between HB and H. The standard writing pencil is graded HB; this is the most commonly used grade for the office.
