PRODUCT INFORMATION

Nota: Esta placa ha sido probado de forma independiente para cumplir o superar el estándar NIJ Nivel III+.

La placa compuesta de cerámica/PE SRT SiC de nivel III+ es una placa especial para amenazas de rifle (SRT) diseñada para derrotar las amenazas de nivel III+ de las rondas de rifle de alta velocidad de las amenazas de rifle más comúnmente utilizadas. El compuesto Sic Ceramic/UHMWPE da como resultado una placa más liviana y la estructura del material permite una mayor resistencia a las grietas en comparación con otros diseños de placas cerámicas.

El diseño curvo de la placa se adapta al usuario con mayor comodidad, y las esquinas superiores cortadas permiten una mejor movilidad y está completamente sellada para proteger contra líquidos, productos químicos y otros elementos agresivos.

Dimensiones: 10” X 12” X 0,8” o 11” x 14” x 0,8”
Peso: 4,6 libras.
Placa compuesta de cerámica/PE SRT SiC de nivel III+ disponible en tamaños: 10”X12”, 11”X14”, 6”X6”
Montado en los EE.UU.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the difference between the VISM Level III+ SRT Ceramic/PE plate and the standard VISM Level III+ UHMWPE plate?

The primary difference is the strike face material. The standard VISM Level III+ UHMWPE plates (BPC1012/BPC1114) use only polyethylene fiber laminates, which provide excellent Level III+ protection against most rifle rounds but can struggle against hardened steel-core penetrators. The SRT Ceramic/PE plates add a Silicon Carbide ceramic strike face that fractures and defeats steel-core penetrators before the UHMWPE backer stops the remaining fragments. The SRT plate is heavier (~4.6 lbs vs ~3.0 lbs for 10"×12") but provides meaningfully better defeat capability against penetrator-type rifle threats.

Can the VISM SRT Ceramic/PE plate stop M855 Green Tip (5.56mm steel core)?

Yes — the VISM Level III+ SRT designation specifically addresses Special Rifle Threats including steel-core rounds like M855 (62 gr 5.56mm with steel penetrator). The Silicon Carbide ceramic strike face is designed to fracture the steel penetrator core on impact, preventing it from drilling through the UHMWPE backer. Standard UHMWPE-only Level III plates may not reliably stop M855 due to the steel penetrator's hardness. The SRT Ceramic/PE plate addresses this gap.

Does the VISM SRT Ceramic/PE plate provide Level IV protection?

No — the VISM SRT Ceramic/PE Ballistic Plate is rated Level III+ SRT, not Level IV. NIJ Level IV requires the plate to defeat .30 caliber armor-piercing (AP) ammunition (M2 AP, 166 gr at 2,880 fps) — a significantly more demanding test than Level III+ SRT. The VISM Level IV Ceramic/PE Composite Plate (SKU: B4C1012) provides Level IV protection. The SRT plate is positioned between standard Level III+ and full Level IV, addressing the most common special threats without reaching the full AP-round requirement.

What is the weight difference between the 10"×12" and 11"×14" VISM SRT Ceramic/PE plates?

The 10"×12" VISM SRT Ceramic/PE Ballistic Plate (BP3PC1012) weighs approximately 4.6 lbs (2,087 g). The 11"×14" version (BP3PC1114) weighs approximately 5.7 lbs (2,585 g). The weight difference reflects the additional ceramic and UHMWPE material required for the larger plate surface. Most standard plate carriers accept 10"×12" plates; 11"×14" is primarily used in larger carriers designed for extended torso coverage or XL-size operators.

How do I care for and inspect the VISM SRT Ceramic/PE plate?

Ceramic composite plates require regular inspection because internal ceramic fractures are not always visible externally. Inspect the plate cover for tears, delamination, or unusual deformation (bulges or soft spots). Gently flex the plate — significant cracking sounds may indicate internal ceramic fracture. Store away from extreme heat (above 150°F), sustained compressive loads, and sharp impacts. Any plate that has been struck by a ballistic projectile must be removed from service immediately, even if the exterior appears undamaged. Do not submerge in water for extended periods.
