Anchor Chain Size: Typically ranges from 10 mm to 150 mm in diameter.
Anchor Chain Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Tensile (HT) chains like Grade 30, Grade 40, and Grade 70.
Viscosity: Not applicable to anchor chains; viscosity is a fluid property.
Buoyancy: Anchor chains are negatively buoyant, made of steel with a density of ~7.85 g/cm³.
Material: Typically forged from high-strength carbon steel or alloy steel.
Breaking Load: Varies by grade and size, e.g., Grade 3 chains have higher breaking loads than Grade 2.
Proof Load: Typically 50-70% of the breaking load, depending on grade.
Corrosion Resistance: Often galvanized or coated for marine environments.
Chain Link Type: Common types include studlink (studded) and studless chains.
Weight per Meter: Depends on size and material, e.g., 10 mm chain weighs ~2.2 kg/m, while 150 mm can exceed 300 kg/m.
