The Anchor Chain Claw is a device used to securely grip and hold anchor chains in place. Anchor chains are heavy-duty chains that connect the anchor to the vessel, providing strength and stability. Both components are essential for safe and reliable mooring operations.

Anchor Chain Claw:

- Size: Typically 12.5mm to 152mm diameter

- Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or High-Tensile (HT) steel

- Material: Forged or cast steel

- Working Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 1.5 to 3,000+ metric tons)

- Corrosion Resistance: Often galvanized or coated

Anchor Chains:

- Size: 10mm to 200mm diameter (common marine sizes: 12.5mm to 76mm)

- Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or High-Tensile (HT) steel (e.g., U2, U3, R3, R4, R5)

- Material: Carbon steel or alloy steel (hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance)

- Breaking Load: Varies by grade (e.g., 2,000 kN to 15,000 kN for large chains)

- Buoyancy: Negative (sinks due to high steel density)

- Viscosity: Not applicable (solid metal construction)

- Link Types: Studlink or studless (common in marine applications)

- Standards: Compliant with ISO 1704, ABS, DNV, or other classification societies
