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: Negative buoyancy due to high-density steel material; sinks in water.
Material: Usually made of high-tensile steel, such as ASTM A1023 or equivalent.
Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade, e.g., 12.5 mm chain may have ~47 kN, while 152 mm may exceed 15,000 kN.
Surface Treatment: Often galvanized or coated for corrosion resistance.
Length: Standard shots are 27.5 meters (15 fathoms), but custom lengths are available.
Weight: Depends on size; e.g., 12.5 mm chain weighs ~2.2 kg/m, while 152 mm may exceed 300 kg/m.
Certification: Complies with international standards like ISO 1704, ABS, DNV, or LR.
