Attaching a rope to an anchor chain involves securing a line to the chain using knots or connectors for added flexibility and shock absorption. Anchor chains are heavy-duty metal links designed to provide weight and durability for anchoring vessels. Proper attachment ensures stability and reduces strain on the anchor system during mooring.

Attaching Rope To Anchor Chain:

- Size: Typically 12mm to 50mm diameter

- Grade: High-tensile (e.g., Grade 30, Grade 40, Grade 60)

- Viscosity: N/A (not applicable for ropes)

- Buoyancy: Generally neutral to slightly buoyant

- Material: Polyester, nylon, or high-modulus polyethylene (HMPE)

Anchor Chains:

- Size: 10mm to 150mm diameter (common sizes: 13mm, 16mm, 19mm, 22mm)

- Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 30, Grade 40, Grade 70 (higher grades for heavy-duty use)

- Viscosity: N/A (solid metal construction)

- Buoyancy: Non-buoyant (steel chains sink)

- Material: High-strength carbon steel or alloy steel (galvanized for corrosion resistance)
