Rogue Calibrated LB Steel Plates (2024)

FAQs

Are Rogue calibrated plates worth it? ›

Easy answer – because they are accurate to within 10 grams of their stated weight, and 10 grams may as well be no deviation at all. Look at it like this, each calibrated plate is accurate to 1% of 1 kilogram. That means that a 25 kilogram plate is accurate to within 0.04%. That's 10 grams out of 25,000 grams!

The Rogue Calibrated KG Steel Plates are machine-calibrated for minimal weight discrepancy. They are accurate within 0.35 ounces (10 grams) of the stated weight.

They then place them on a machine that calibrates how much brass is needed to be inserted into each plate to get within the listed weight rating. The process to accomplish this is not short by any means. This is one of the reasons the plates cost so much more than standard cast iron plates.

Calibrated plates are much thinner and have much tighter tolerances to provide you with the exact gainz you need. You can fit a lot more weight on the bar, and the the weight closer to your center of mass which gives you a completely different feel on the bar (less bar bend and whip).

Machine calibrated for next-level precision, these durable cast-iron KG plates are accurate to within 10g in weight. Each disc is cut thin to allow for max loading capacity (up to 700+ KG) and color-coded for easy identification from a distance.

Greater than 180,000 PSI is considered high tensile strength with barbells. The Rogue Ohio Bar has a 190,000 PSI, making it a high tensile strength steel, and is pretty standard amongst most high-quality multi-purpose barbells.

The Rogue Echo Bumper Plates feature stainless steel inserts and a virgin rubber coating, which means these are quite durable and should last you at least ten years.

Cost Of Materials

Weight plates are generally made out of steel or cast iron. They are heavy and bulky and their manufacture requires a lot of raw material. Materials that need to be mined and processed. And then fashioned into weights and transported.

What is the most valuable plate? ›

That's a question one person had to answer after bidding on and winning the plate “P 7” for $15 million. It seems like a lot of money because it is – this could be the most expensive one ever sold. License plates are a hot commodity to some who want the perfect number paired with their vehicle.

55 lb (equivalent to 25 kg) are red, 45 lb(similar to 20 kg) are blue, 35 lb (similar to 15 kg) are yellow, 25 lb (similar to 10 kg) are green, and 10 lb are grey. Add great aesthetics to your gym or facility while making it easier for your members or trainees to identify Olympic weight plates by designated colors.

It is true that rusty metal may weigh more because rust is formed when metal reacts with oxygen. Put simply, rust = metal + oxygen so rusty 5kg weights should weigh 5kg plus the weight of some oxygen molecules.

The plates are very accurate with a weight tolerance of +/- 1% of the claimed weight. For black bumpers, that's extremely good. The 25-45 LB plates are warrantied for 3 years.

Calibrated Plates

They tend to be thinner than your regular plate, which allows for a more streamlined lift. You can also fit more weight plates onto the bar, at least when compared to bumper plates that are thicker. These are, however, more expensive options and they're not recommended for home gyms or amateur needs.
