2 , within their limiting tolerances. For estimating purposes it is often useful to note the following:The inside length ( grip or pitch) of one link is 4 wire outside length of one link is 6 outside width of one link is gauge-test length is the outside length over 6 links and equals 26 weight of one link is about 3-1/3 times its wire diameter the wire-diameter of one link multiplies its weight by weight of 1 linear foot of chain is 10 times its wire-diameter length of a standard shot = 15 fathoms = 90 ft. = 1080 .The weight of a 90 ft. shot = 900 times its wire-diameter the wire-diameter of a 90 ft. shot multiplies its weight by the size of a chain theoretically multiplies its strength by 4; in practice, by a trifle less than safe working load of chain is ordinarily assumed as one half the proof LENGTHS REQUIREDIn determining amount of Anchor chain to be used for a particular anchorage it is usual to allow 5 to 7 times the depth of water; dependent on such factors as nature of bottom, present and anticipated weather, tidal and current conditions, state of readiness of the ship s powerplant, draft, amount of exposed hull and superstructure, and length of stay at Anchor .

3 ( Coast Guard)CHAIN AND LINK MAINTENANCEA nchor chain cable should be ranged at regular intervals and examined for damage and signs of excessive wear. It is considered good practice to occasionally shift the shots about in the chain to insure even wear. The CHAINS may also be sprayed with a preservative such as fish oil at this time. ( Coast Guard)The Navy instructs that at least once every eighteen (18) months all Anchor chain cable regardless of size, including detachable links, swivels and shackles should be examined, over-hauled and placed in a good state of preservation. Chain connecting links particularly should be disassembled and the interiors recoated with grease, and identification mark restored if necessar FREE1 (800) 233-8014 HOUSTON (713) 644-1183 FAX(713) 644-118544 CHAINSCHAINSGENERAL INFORMATIONRATED LOAD VALUEPROOF LOADPROOF TESTULTIMATE LOADSHOCK LOADSAFETY FACTORCOMMERCIAL SURFACE QUALITYThe maximum recommended load that should be exerted on the item.

4 The following terms are also used for the term Rated Load: SWL , Safe Working Load , Working Load , Working Load Limit , and the Resultant Safe Working Load. All rated load values, unless noted otherwise, are for in-line pull with respect to the centerline of the average load to which an item may be subjected before visual deformation occurs or a load that is applied in the performance of a proof term designating a tensile test applied to the item for the sole purpose of detecting injurious defects in the material or manufacture. The average load at which the item being tested fails or no longer supports the resulting load from the rapid change of movement, such as impacting or jerking, of a static load. A Shock Load is generally significantly greater then the static industry term denoting theoretical reserve capability. Usually computed by dividing the catalog stated ultimate load by the catalog stated working load limit and generally expressed a a ratio, for example 5 to surface condition associated with the normal methods of production of raw material and machined surfaces.
