Coated anchor chains are marine-grade chains with a protective coating to prevent corrosion and enhance durability. Anchor chains are heavy-duty chains used to secure vessels to the seabed, providing stability and safety. Both types are essential for maritime operations, ensuring reliable anchoring in harsh marine environments.

Size: 12.5mm to 152mm (1/2" to 6")

Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, U2, U3, R3, R4, R5

Viscosity: N/A (Not applicable for anchor chains)

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

Material: High-tensile carbon steel or alloy steel with zinc or polymer coating

Coating: Hot-dip galvanized, epoxy-coated, or polyethylene-coated

Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 12.5mm Grade 3 ~ 92 kN, 76mm R4 ~ 11,500 kN)

Proof Load: Typically 50-70% of breaking load

Length per Shot: Standard 27.5 meters (15 fathoms)

Certification: ABS, DNV, LR, BV, or other class society approvals

Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced by coating type (galvanizing provides 5-20 years protection)

Weight per Meter: Depends on size (e.g., 12.5mm ~ 2.6 kg/m, 76mm ~ 122 kg/m)
