Anchor Chain Stud:
- Size: Typically 13.5 mm to 152 mm (diameter)
- Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Tensile (e.g., G30, G40, G70)
- Material: Forged or cast steel, often with galvanized coating for corrosion resistance
- Viscosity: Not applicable (solid metal component)
- Buoyancy: Negligible (steel density ~7.85 g/cm³)
Anchor Chains:
- Size: Ranges from 10 mm to 200 mm (diameter), with common sizes 12.5 mm, 19 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, etc.
- Grade: Standard grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Tensile (e.g., U2, U3, R3, R4, R5)
- Material: High-strength carbon steel or alloy steel, often hot-dip galvanized
- Viscosity: Not applicable (solid metal links)
- Buoyancy: Negative (steel chains sink in water due to high density)
- Construction: Stud-link (with studs for strength) or studless (for specific applications)
- Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 22 mm Grade R3 chain ~415 kN)
- Proof Load: Typically 50% of breaking load for certification
