Choosing anchor chain involves selecting the right size, material, and length based on vessel size and anchoring conditions. Galvanized steel is common for corrosion resistance, while high-tensile chains offer greater strength. Proper chain selection ensures secure anchoring and durability in various marine environments.
Size: Typically ranges from 10 mm to 200 mm in diameter, depending on vessel size and anchoring requirements.
Grade: Common grades include Grade 2, Grade 3, and High-Test (Grade 4), with higher grades offering greater strength.
Viscosity: Not applicable, as anchor chains are solid metal links.
Buoyancy: Negligible, as steel chains are denser than water and do not float.
Material: Usually made of high-strength carbon steel or alloy steel, often galvanized for corrosion resistance.
Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade, ranging from 5 tons to over 1,000 tons.
Proof Load: Typically 50-60% of the breaking load for certification.
Link Type: Common designs include studlink (with a central stud for added strength) and studless chains.
Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced through galvanization or specialized coatings.
Weight: Approximately 10-300 kg per meter, depending on size and material.
