Large ship anchor chains are heavy-duty chains designed to secure vessels by connecting the anchor to the ship. They are made from high-strength steel to withstand immense forces and harsh marine conditions. These chains ensure stability and safety by preventing the ship from drifting.

Size: 20 mm to 200 mm diameter

Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, and U3 (high-tensile)

Viscosity: Not applicable (solid metal construction)

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

Material: High-strength carbon steel or alloy steel

Breaking Load: Varies by grade and size (e.g., Grade 3 chains have higher breaking strength than Grade 2)

Surface Treatment: Hot-dip galvanized or painted for corrosion resistance

Link Type: Studlink or studless (common for marine anchors)

Certification: Meets international standards like ABS, DNV, LR, or ISO 1704

Weight: Approximately 20 kg/m to 300 kg/m depending on size and grade

Elongation: Typically less than 10% at breaking load
