Chains
- Chain Grade: Chains are rated by grade, which indicates strength and load capacity. Higher grades (e.g., Grade 80, Grade 100) are suitable for heavy duty applications, such as lifting and rigging, while lower grades may be used for general purpose tasks.
- Chains are flexible, linked components used for lifting, pulling, securing, and other industrial applications. Chains come in various types, materials, and designs to meet specific strength and durability requirements. Here are the key attributes:
- Finish: The surface treatment applied to the chain, such as galvanized, black oxide, or zinc plating, which enhances corrosion resistance and durability.
- Length: The total length of the chain, typically available in fixed lengths or by the foot, depending on the application needs.
- Link Size (Diameter): The diameter of each chain link, which affects the chain’s strength and weight capacity. Larger link sizes provide higher strength and are used for heavier loads.
- Load Capacity: The maximum load the chain can bear, measured in pounds or kilograms. This is critical for ensuring the chain can handle the intended load without failure.
- Material: Chains are typically made from steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel. Material choice affects the chain's strength, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel is common for marine and corrosive environments, while alloy steel offers high strength for heavy loads.
- Pitch: The distance from the center of one link to the center of the next. Chain pitch affects flexibility and compatibility with sprockets or other equipment.
- Type of Chain: Describes the chain’s design, such as roller chain, link chain, welded chain, or twist link chain. Each type is suited for specific applications (e.g., roller chains are common in conveyor systems, while welded link chains are for heavy duty lifting).
