Size: Available in various diameters, typically ranging from 12mm to 152mm.
Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Test (HT) for marine applications.
Viscosity: Not applicable (anchor chains are solid metal components).
Buoyancy: Negative buoyancy due to high-density steel material.
Material: Typically made from high-strength carbon steel or alloy steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance.
Length: Standard lengths vary, commonly supplied in 27.5-meter shots (15 fathoms).
Working Load Limit (WLL): Depends on chain size and grade, e.g., 12mm Grade 2 chain may have a WLL of ~2.5 tons.
Breaking Load: Significantly higher than WLL, e.g., 12mm Grade 2 chain may have a breaking load of ~10 tons.
Finish: Hot-dip galvanized or uncoated (black) for corrosion protection.
Certification: Often complies with international standards like ABS, DNV, or ISO 1704.
