Anchor Chain Joining Links:
Size: 12.5mm to 152mm (varies by application)
Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or higher (depends on strength requirements)
Material: High-tensile steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance
Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 12.5mm Grade 2 ~ 6.5 tons, 76mm Grade 3 ~ 1,500 tons)
Buoyancy: Negligible due to steel density
Anchor Chains:
Size: 12.5mm to 152mm (common marine sizes)
Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or higher (e.g., U3, R3, R4, R5 for offshore use)
Material: High-tensile steel, often hot-dip galvanized
Viscosity: N/A (solid steel construction)
Buoyancy: Sinks in water (steel density ~7.85 g/cm³)
Common Lengths: 27.5m shots (standard for marine use)
Proof Load: 50-70% of breaking load (depends on certification)
Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced by galvanization or special coatings
