Proof Load: Typically 50% of breaking load
Corrosion Resistance: High (especially for stainless steel grades)
Surface Treatment: Hot-dip galvanized (for steel chains), passivated (for stainless steel)
Length per Shackle: Standard 27.5 meters (15 fathoms)
Weight per Meter: Depends on size (e.g., 10mm chain ~2.2 kg/m, 50mm chain ~55 kg/m)
Standards: ISO 1704, DIN 766, ABS, Lloyd’s Register certified
Elongation: Minimal under load (varies by material and grade)
Temperature Resistance: -20°C to 400°C (for stainless steel)
