Chain with anchor refers to a heavy-duty chain used to secure anchors to vessels. Anchor chains are designed to withstand harsh marine conditions and provide reliable holding power. They are typically made from high-strength steel and feature interlocking links for durability.

Size: Typically ranges from 12.5 mm to 152 mm in diameter.

Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and U3, with higher grades offering greater strength.

Viscosity: Not applicable, as anchor chains are solid metal components.

Buoyancy: Negative buoyancy due to high-density steel material.

Material: Usually made of high-tensile steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance.

Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade, e.g., 12.5 mm chain may have ~47 kN, while 152 mm can exceed 15,000 kN.

Proof Load: Typically 50-70% of the breaking load, depending on grade.

Weight: Approximately 2-300 kg/m, depending on diameter and material.

Finish: Hot-dip galvanized or painted for corrosion protection.

Standards: Complies with ISO 1704, DIN 766, or other maritime regulations.
