Size: Typically ranges from 10 mm to 200 mm in diameter, depending on vessel size and application.
Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and U3, with higher grades offering greater strength and durability.
Viscosity: Not applicable, as anchor chains are solid metal components.
Buoyancy: Negligible, as anchor chains are made of dense materials like steel and sink in water.
Material: Usually high-tensile steel, galvanized or ungalvanized, with some variants using alloy steel for enhanced strength.
Chain Type: Studlink or studless, with studlink providing higher strength and stability.
Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade, typically ranging from 20 tons to over 1,000 tons.
Proof Load: Generally 50-70% of the breaking load, used for testing chain integrity.
Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced through galvanization or special coatings for marine environments.
Length: Standard lengths include 15 fathoms (27.5 meters) per shot, with multiple shots connected for larger vessels.
Weight: Varies by size and material, typically 10 kg/m to 300 kg/m.
End Fittings: May include shackles, swivels, or detachable links for secure attachment.
