SPLT600 Steel Plate

Protection Level: Level III Stand Alone

The SPLT600 is a mission‑oriented steel armor plate designed to deliver durable, stand‑alone rifle protection in demanding environments. Built for users who need a rugged, cost‑effective solution, this plate pairs high ballistic performance with straightforward maintenance and longevity under tough operational conditions.

Key Features

 

• Stand‑alone rifle protection (steel): Engineered to stop common rifle threats; many SPLT‑class steel plates meet Level III performance—confirm exact NIJ certification with the manufacturer.

• Durable steel construction: Hard‑faced ballistic steel provides robust multi‑hit capability and resistance to deformation under repeated impacts.

• Low profile: Flat/near‑flat geometry fits standard plate carriers with minimal printing and simplifies rapid plate changes.

• Reinforced edges: Rolled or hemmed edges improve durability and reduce chipping at high‑stress points.

• Hard coat finish: Protective paint or coating to resist corrosion and environmental wear for longer field life.

• Multiple sizes & cuts: Available in common plate dimensions (e.g., 8×10, 10×12, shooter cuts) so you can match coverage to carrier and mission needs.

• Cost‑effective: Steel plates often offer a lower price per plate than ceramic or polyethylene alternatives while providing reliable protection and long service life.

Why Choose SPLT600

 

• Rugged reliability: Steel’s multi‑hit resilience and structural integrity make it a dependable choice for high‑use applications.

• Service life & maintenance: With a durable finish and fewer degradation modes than some composites, steel plates are straightforward to care for and inspect.

• Straightforward logistics: Common sizes and simple handling make inventory and replacement easy for large teams or agencies.

• Value proposition: When budget, durability, and multi‑hit performance are priorities, steel plates like the SPLT600 are a practical option.

 

Suggested Uses

 

• Patrol and duty carriers where repeated exposure and cost considerations favor steel.

• Training and target‑rich environments where multi‑hit durability is required.

• Security details, checkpoints, and static defensive positions that benefit from long‑life hard plates.

• Agencies outfitting many personnel who need an economical, robust stand‑alone solution.

 

Specifications

 

• Material: Ballistic steel (hard‑faced) with protective finish

• Protection: Commonly used for Level III stand‑alone rifle threats (verify exact NIJ or equivalent certification)

• Geometry: Flat or low‑curve; available in full and shooter‑cut sizes

• Edge: Rolled/hemmed or reinforced to reduce spalling/chipping

• Finish: Anti‑corrosion / hard coat paint

• Weight: Heavier than ceramic/polyethylene plates — expect significantly higher per‑plate weight (select size accordingly)

 

Care & Handling Notes

 

• Inspect regularly for dents, cracks, corrosion, or severe deformation — damage can reduce ballistic performance.

• Be mindful of spall and fragmentation on steel; use compatible soft‑armor backing or spall liners where operationally required.

• Follow manufacturer guidance on storage, mounting orientation, and end‑of‑life replacement criteria.

 

Final Verdict

The SPLT600 steel plate is a rugged, budget‑friendly hard armor option for teams that prioritize durability and multi‑hit performance. If you need specific NIJ ratings, exact weights, thicknesses, or certified test reports, check the manufacturer’s datasheet or request formal certification documents to ensure the plate meets your operational and procurement requirements.
