What is a "Beach Unit", a measurement of ANSI spec
Look at the ANSI spec sheet.
2nd shaded box down, middle row. what the heck is a BEACH UNIT of measurement? Poly Sheeting product has listed "Puncture resistance of this product is 125 beach units.????????? and equiv is 3.7 joules. Huh? a beach unit? 125 of them? I googled it to no avail. only got Random data and images. Spec sheet is attached. I dare the brain trust, definition please. Are these Beach Units? 125 pounds perhaps?

Don't know, but apparently it's a thing. If you google it, you just get rental units on the beach.

My "Cliff Calvin" guess is that has to withstand a 125 pound lady in high heels walking across it on top of the sand of a beach. Yea, that sound right.

Those girls are not beach units. They fall into the Absolute Unit category.
