Anchor chains are heavy-duty chains used to secure anchors to vessels, providing strength and durability. The anchor lead chain is the section that connects the anchor to the main chain, ensuring proper deployment and retrieval. Both are critical for mooring and stabilizing ships in various water conditions.

Anchor Lead Chain and Anchor Chains typically come in various sizes, ranging from 6mm to 130mm in diameter. The grade is commonly classified as Grade 2, Grade 3, or Grade 4, with higher grades offering greater tensile strength. Viscosity is not applicable as chains are solid metal. Buoyancy is negligible due to the high density of the material. The primary material used is high-tensile steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance. Chains may also include studs for added strength and durability.
