In an era where vehicle-based threats are increasing, traditional security systems are no longer sufficient. Organizations today require tested and certified solutions that can physically stop unauthorized vehicle access. This is where K-Rated Security plays a critical role.
What Does “K-Rated” Mean?
K-Rating is a classification system used to define the impact resistance of security barriers. It measures a barrier’s ability to stop a moving vehicle of a specific weight traveling at a defined speed.
K-Rating Levels Explained
- K4 Rating – Stops a 15,000 lb vehicle at 30 mph
- K8 Rating – Stops a 15,000 lb vehicle at 40 mph
- K12 Rating – Stops a 15,000 lb vehicle at 50 mph
Higher rating = Higher impact resistance = Greater security
Understanding Penetration in Crash Testing
Penetration refers to how far a vehicle travels beyond the barrier after impact.
- 0 Meter Penetration – Vehicle stops at the point of impact
- Low Penetration – Minimal intrusion
- High Penetration – Increased security risk
Achieving 0 meter penetration is considered the highest level of performance in perimeter security.
