Galvanized chain for anchor is a durable, corrosion-resistant chain used to secure anchors in marine applications. It features a protective zinc coating to withstand harsh saltwater environments. These chains provide reliable strength and longevity for anchoring boats and ships.

Size: 12.5 mm to 152 mm (0.5 inches to 6 inches) in diameter

Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or higher (e.g., U2, U3, R3, R4, R5) as per ISO 1704 or other standards

Viscosity: Not applicable (N/A) for solid metal chains

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

Material: High-tensile carbon steel with hot-dip galvanized coating for corrosion resistance

Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 12.5 mm chain: ~4.5 tons, 76 mm chain: ~3,500 tons)

Proof Load: Typically 50% of breaking load for certification

Weight: Approx. 2.5 kg/m for 12.5 mm chain to 300 kg/m for 152 mm chain

Standards: ISO 1704, ABS, DNV, LR, or other classification society approvals

Finish: Hot-dip galvanized (zinc coating thickness: 50-100 microns)

Welding: Flash-butt welded or resistance welded links for strength

Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced by galvanization; optional additional coatings for harsh environments
