Static Caravan Anchor Chains are typically made from galvanized steel or stainless steel for corrosion resistance. Common sizes range from 6mm to 12mm in diameter. The grade is usually Grade 30 or Grade 43, providing tensile strengths of 300 MPa and 430 MPa, respectively. Viscosity is not applicable as these are solid metal chains. Buoyancy is negligible due to the high density of steel. The material ensures durability and long-term performance in outdoor conditions.
Anchor Chains for marine or heavy-duty applications are often made from high-tensile steel, such as Grade 70 or higher, with diameters ranging from 10mm to 25mm or more. These chains may have a tensile strength exceeding 700 MPa. Like static caravan chains, viscosity is irrelevant, and buoyancy is minimal. Marine-grade chains are often hot-dip galvanized or coated for enhanced corrosion resistance in saltwater environments.
