Based on my analysis of pen pressure ranges, I have developed this simple rating scale for IAF and max pressure. This represents my initial thinking and I expect to revise this in the future based on feedback.
For more general information about pen pressure go here: pen pressure
Consider this diagram to be a DRAFT. it will evolve as I learn more.
I think the pressure categories here (EXCELLENT, VERY GOOD, etc) are reasonable.
But be aware, that for a specific pen there can be significant differences for IAF and max pressure for individual units.

Pens, even of the same model, vary in how their pressure handling
Drivers can potentially affect IAF.
