Yacht anchor chains are heavy-duty metal links used to secure a yacht's anchor to the vessel. They provide strength, durability, and weight to ensure the anchor holds firmly in place. These chains are typically made from galvanized steel or stainless steel for corrosion resistance.

Size: 6mm to 32mm (common sizes for yachts)

Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or High-Test (Grade 30)

Material: Hot-dip galvanized steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel

Viscosity: N/A (not applicable for chains)

Buoyancy: Negligible (steel chains sink in water)

Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 10mm Grade 3 chain ~8,200 kg)

Proof Load: Typically 50% of breaking load

Link Type: Studlink (common for yacht anchors) or Studless

Corrosion Resistance: Dependent on galvanization or stainless steel quality

Weight: ~2.5 kg/m for 10mm chain, increases with size

Standards: ISO 4565, DIN 766, or other marine certifications
