Anchor chains and ropes are essential components for securing a vessel's anchor to the seabed. Chains provide strength and weight to keep the anchor stable, while ropes offer flexibility and ease of handling. Together, they ensure reliable mooring and safety for boats and ships.

Size: 12.5 mm to 152 mm (diameter)

Grade: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, U1, U2, U3, K1, K2, K3 (as per classification standards)

Viscosity: Not applicable (chains are solid metal)

Buoyancy: Negative (sinks in water due to high-density material)

Material: High-tensile carbon steel, galvanized steel, or stainless steel

Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 12.5 mm Grade 2 chain ~47 kN)

Proof Load: Typically 40-50% of breaking load

Finish: Hot-dip galvanized, self-colored, or painted

Link Types: Stud link (common), studless, or detachable links

Certification: ABS, DNV, LR, or other marine classification approvals

Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced by galvanization or stainless steel construction

Weight: Approximately 10-300 kg/m (varies with diameter and material)

Elongation: Minimal under working loads (high-tensile grades resist stretching)
