12mm Anchor Chain in Ross Dependency, 1 2 Anchor Chain - Anchor Chains

The 12mm anchor chain is a durable marine-grade chain designed for securing boats and vessels. It offers high tensile strength and corrosion resistance for reliable anchoring. Commonly used in small to medium-sized boats, it ensures safety and stability in various water conditions.

Size: 12mm diameter

Grade: Typically Grade 2, Grade 3, or High-Tensile (HT) depending on application

Material: Forged steel or alloy steel (common grades include U2, U3, or G30)

Viscosity: Not applicable (solid metal construction)

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

Breaking Load: Varies by grade (e.g., Grade 2 ~ 68 kN, Grade 3 ~ 86 kN, HT ~ 110 kN)

Proof Load: Approximately 50-60% of breaking load

Weight: ~2.6-3.2 kg/m depending on material and grade

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

Common Standards: ISO 1704, DIN 766, or other maritime classification society approvals
