Thin plates

[Bazza20]

Not sure about 5kg plates but from memory the 25kg ivankos are 25mm thick, 450mm diameter.

sounds abotu right.
minimum thickness would be 20.4mm for 25kg, 450 diameter


if you're keen...
Radius^2 = 2.5^2 + (WEIGHT / (7.8*Pi*thickness) )

or change 2.5 or say 2.55 for a 51mm hole

Yeah one side is flat and the other side has a slight rim and some indentations.

My cheap Chinese cast 5kg plates are 17.5mm thick and 245mm diameter.

I have both Ivanko and Hart plates at PTC.

The Hart 5kg ones are almost the same thickness, but cheaper. Buy those.

Beware, Hart allow 10% tolerance, so you WILL be getting heavier plates. I had to almost exchange every plate I bought to get them to weigh the same.
All my 20's are 21kg, some I got were 24.5kg lol

Does that mean i can change my bench on the top 20 to 178.5?

THanks guys, will check out some of those options. Probably go with something like the Harts. Take my chances...
