Why are Bumper Plates rated using the Shore Durometer Scale?

The Shore Durometer Test is the standard international system that is used to test the hardness of rubber and other synthetic compounds. It was developed in the 1920s by Albert F. Shore, who created a device to measure these types of materials and so it has been named after him.

Material hardness is rated and defined according to its resistance to permanent indentation, or total failure. Examples of “total failure” would be if the bumper plates were to warp or buckle during use, or the inserts detaching.

The word “Durometer” has two specific meanings; The name of the instrument used to conduct these tests and the rating achieved based on the Shore Durometer Scale.

This device works by providing a rating of 0 to 100. To give you a perspective on this, most car tyres are rated at approximately 65, which is fairly high as they need to withstand a lot of punishment.

A bumper plate with a reading of over 80 is considered more than acceptable. These bumper plates returned a reading of 91 which places them in the high end of the category.

They will provide greater performance during repetitive use and last far longer than lesser quality bumpers. So, order them today and experience the benefits of using premium quality gear with no compromise.
