Anchor on a chain refers to the combination of an anchor and its connecting chain, used to secure vessels in place. Anchor chains are heavy-duty chains designed to withstand marine conditions, providing strength and durability. They play a crucial role in ensuring stability and safety for boats and ships.

Anchor On A Chain: Typically made of high-strength steel, sizes range from 10 mm to 130 mm in diameter. Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and U3, with tensile strengths from 490 MPa to over 1,000 MPa. Material is usually carbon or alloy steel with galvanized or painted coatings for corrosion resistance.

Anchor Chains: Standard sizes range from 12.5 mm to 152 mm in diameter. Grades include Grade 2 (490 MPa), Grade 3 (700 MPa), and U3 (1,000+ MPa). Material is high-tensile steel, often hot-dip galvanized. Chain links are studded for strength. Buoyancy is minimal due to steel density. Viscosity is not applicable, but chains are lubricated for smooth operation.
