Size: Typically ranges from 12.5 mm to 152 mm in diameter.
Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and U3, with higher grades offering greater strength.
Viscosity: Not applicable, as anchor chains are solid metal components.
Buoyancy: Negligible, as anchor chains are made of dense materials like steel and sink in water.
Material: Usually constructed from high-tensile steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance.
Length: Standard lengths vary but are often supplied in 27.5-meter shots for marine applications.
Breaking Load: Depends on grade and size, ranging from 4.8 tonnes to over 3,500 tonnes.
Proof Load: Typically 40-50% of the breaking load for testing purposes.
Weight: Varies by size, e.g., 12.5 mm chain weighs ~2.2 kg/m, while 152 mm chain weighs ~330 kg/m.
Finish: Hot-dip galvanized or uncoated, depending on application.
Certification: Often complies with international standards like ISO 1704 or ABS/DNV/GL classifications.
