Anchor chain ropes are heavy-duty chains used to secure anchors to vessels, providing strength and durability. They are designed to withstand harsh marine conditions, including corrosion and heavy loads. The links are typically made of high-grade steel for maximum reliability and safety.

Anchor Chain Rope and Anchor Chains typically come in the following specifications:

Size: Ranges from 6mm to 152mm (1/4" to 6") in diameter, depending on vessel size and application.

Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Tensile (HT) chains (e.g., U2, U3, R3, R4, R5).

Material: Typically made from high-strength carbon steel or alloy steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance.

Viscosity: Not applicable (chains are solid metal, viscosity refers to fluids).

Buoyancy: Negative buoyancy (sinks in water due to high density).

Breaking Load: Varies by grade and size (e.g., 12.5mm Grade 3 chain may have ~32 kN breaking load).

Proof Load: Typically 50-70% of breaking load for testing purposes.

Finish: Hot-dip galvanized, self-colored (black), or stainless steel for marine environments.

Link Types: Studlink (most common for marine anchors), Studless, or Detachable links.

Standards: Manufactured per ISO 1704, DIN 766, or other marine classification society rules (ABS, DNV, LR, etc.).
