Need help in determining the impact force strength of a door stop rubber. It is a urethane rubber formed in a triangular shape. I used a 50t press with a 2" round shaft to compress rubber product and it required 100 lbs of force to compress. I believe this worked out to 18.75 ft lbs to compress rubber. My question is : if a 36" x 80" metal door weighing 200lbs is swung open, what type of impact force can this rubber take? (contact surface of the rubber is 2" x 3/4")
