Anchor Chain Connection Supplier - Anchor Chains

Anchor chain connections are the links that join sections of anchor chains, ensuring strength and continuity. Anchor chains are heavy-duty chains used to secure vessels by connecting the anchor to the ship. They provide stability and withstand harsh marine conditions.

Anchor Chain Connection:

- Size: Typically 12.5mm to 152mm (0.5" to 6") in diameter

- Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Tensile (HT) such as Grade 30, Grade 40, and Grade 60

- Material: Forged or cast steel, often with galvanized or painted coatings for corrosion resistance

- Connection Type: Detachable links (D-links), Kenter shackles, or studless connections

- Working Load Limit (WLL): Varies by size and grade, typically 2x to 4x chain diameter in metric tons

Anchor Chains:

- Size: Ranges from 12.5mm to 152mm (0.5" to 6") in diameter

- Grade: Standard grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Tensile (HT) like Grade 30, Grade 40, and Grade 60

- Material: Carbon steel or alloy steel, often galvanized for marine environments

- Stud Configuration: Studded (for higher strength) or studless (for flexibility)

- Buoyancy: Negligible due to high density; submerged weight is approximately 2.5x to 3x air weight

- Viscosity: Not applicable (solid material)

- Breaking Load: Varies by grade, e.g., Grade 30 (~300 N/mm²), Grade 40 (~400 N/mm²), Grade 60 (~600 N/mm²)

- Length per Shackle: Standard 27.5 meters (90 feet) per shackle in marine applications
