An anchor chain tensioner secures the anchor chain to prevent slippage and ensure stability. Installation involves attaching the tensioner to the chain and adjusting it for proper tension. Proper alignment and secure fastening are crucial for effective performance.

Installing Anchor Chain Tensioner:

- Size: Typically 12.5mm to 152mm (0.5" to 6") diameter

- Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or high-tensile steel

- Material: Carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel

- Working Load Limit (WLL): Varies by size and grade (e.g., 5T to 500T)

- Corrosion Resistance: Galvanized or coated for marine environments

Anchor Chains:

- Size: 12mm to 150mm (0.47" to 6") common for marine use

- Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or higher (e.g., U3, R3, R4, R5)

- Material: High-strength carbon steel, often hot-dip galvanized

- Breaking Load: Varies by grade (e.g., 400 N/mm² to 800 N/mm²)

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

- Viscosity: N/A (solid material)

- Link Types: Studlink or studless (for higher strength)

- Certification: ABS, DNV, LR, or other marine classification standards
