Anchor & Chain Supplier - Anchor Chains

Anchor & Chain refers to the combination of a heavy anchor and its connecting chain used to moor vessels securely. Anchor Chains are robust, linked metal chains designed to withstand marine conditions and provide stability. They ensure the anchor remains effective by adding weight and preventing dragging.

Anchor & Chain Size: Typically ranges from 10 mm to 130 mm in diameter, depending on vessel size and application.

Anchor Chain Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Tensile (HT) chains like Grade 30, Grade 40, and Grade 60, with varying tensile strengths.

Viscosity: Not applicable to anchor chains; viscosity is a fluid property.

Buoyancy: Anchor chains are negatively buoyant, made of steel, and sink in water.

Material: Typically constructed from high-strength carbon steel or alloy steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance.

Chain Type: Studlink (studded) or Studless (plain link) chains, with studlink providing higher strength and stability.

Breaking Load: Varies by grade and size, e.g., Grade 30 chains have a breaking load of 30 kgf/mm².

Certification: Complies with international standards like ISO 1704, ABS, DNV, or Lloyd's Register.

Surface Treatment: Hot-dip galvanizing or other coatings for enhanced durability in marine environments.

Length: Standard lengths include 27.5 meters (shot) or custom lengths as per vessel requirements.
