Size: 10mm to 150mm diameter
Grade: Grade 2, Grade 3, or higher (e.g., U3, K3, R3, R4, R5)
Viscosity: Not applicable (N/A) for solid metal chains
Buoyancy: Negative (sinks in water due to high-density steel material)
Material: High-tensile carbon steel or alloy steel, hot-dip galvanized for corrosion resistance
Breaking Load: Varies by size and grade (e.g., 10mm chain: ~4.5 tons, 50mm chain: ~1,100 tons)
Proof Load: Typically 50% of breaking load
Surface Treatment: Hot-dip galvanized (zinc coating thickness: ~50-100 microns)
Standards: ISO 1704, DIN 766, ABS, LR, DNV, or other classification society certifications
Link Types: Studlink (common) or Studless (for higher strength)
Weight: Varies by size (e.g., 10mm chain: ~2.2 kg/m, 50mm chain: ~55 kg/m)
Elongation: Minimal under load (typically <1% at proof load)
Corrosion Resistance: Enhanced by galvanization, suitable for marine environments
