SAE Felt Specifications — What Spokane Engineers and Buyers Need to Know
What Is SAE Felt?
SAE felt is a pressed wool felt manufactured to specifications defined by SAE International (formerly the Society of Automotive Engineers). These standards define density, hardness, wool content, and tensile characteristics — ensuring consistent, measurable performance across batches. For Spokane manufacturers sourcing felt for OEM or production applications, SAE-grade felt eliminates the guesswork of ungraded materials.
SAE Felt Grades We Supply
| SAE Grade | Wool / Hardness | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|
| F1 | 100% Wool — Extra Soft | Polishing, light sealing |
| F3 | 100% Wool — Soft | Wicking, cushioning |
| F5 | 100% Wool — Medium | General industrial, sealing |
| F10 | Min. 50% Wool — Hard | Bearing wipes, heavy seals |
| F13 | Min. 50% Wool — Extra Hard | High-load, structural felt |
| F26 | Blended — Medium | Oil-wicking, filtration |
How Much Does Industrial Felt Cost?

How to Order Industrial Felt for Your Spokane Facility
What Is the Minimum Order for Industrial Felt?Minimums vary by product type. Roll stock felt is available starting at single-yard quantities for most grades. Custom die-cut parts typically carry a small-run minimum depending on part complexity. Contact Gardico directly for current minimums and lead times.
How Quickly Can Gardico Ship to Spokane?Stocked felt materials ship within 1-2 business days from our warehouse. Custom-fabricated parts ship on a project timeline discussed at time of order. Spokane facilities can expect standard ground shipping to arrive within 1-3 business days from ship date.
Do You Provide Material Certifications?Yes. Gardico can provide material certificates of conformance (C of C) for SAE-grade felt orders. Buyers who require ASTM or other third-party testing documentation should request this at the time of quote.
Industrial Felt Spokane, WA
What's the difference between industrial felt and craft felt?Industrial felt — particularly SAE and ASTM-specification felt — is manufactured to defined performance standards for density, hardness, and wool content. Craft felt is typically acrylic or low-wool-content pressed fabric and does not meet the dimensional or mechanical requirements of industrial applications. If your application involves sealing, wicking, load-bearing, or precision fitment, you need industrial-grade felt.
Can Gardico cut felt to custom dimensions for our Spokane production line?Yes. We cut felt to customer-provided dimensions, drawings, or digital files. This includes strips, rolls, washers, gaskets, and complex die-cut profiles. Provide your specifications and we'll produce a quote for cut-to-size or die-cut felt parts.
What felt grades are best for oil-wicking and bearing applications?SAE grades F1 through F5 (100% wool, soft to medium) are the standard choice for oil-wicking and bearing lubrication applications. F26 is commonly used in heavier wick applications. Our team can help confirm the right grade for your specific equipment and duty cycle.
Do you ship felt materials to locations outside Spokane in Eastern Washington?Yes. Gardico ships throughout Eastern Washington, including the Tri-Cities, Pullman/Moscow, Wenatchee, and rural manufacturing locations. For orders in the Pasco/Kennewick/Richland area, see our Pasco, WA industrial felt page at /felt-materials/pasco-wa.
Can I request a sample before placing a production order?Sample requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. Contact our team with your grade, thickness, and application requirements and we'll discuss options.
Gardico supplies SAE felt, felt by the yard, and custom-fabricated felt components to manufacturers and fabricators throughout Spokane and Eastern Washington. Tell us what you need — grade, thickness, dimensions, and quantity — and we'll respond with pricing and availability.
