INTRODUCTION<br />
DETERMINE THE CORRECT TYPE OF CHAIN<br />
ESTIMATE THE MAXIMUM LOAD REQUIRED<br />
CHAINS<br />
Welded Chain<br />
Welded chain is formed by a single loop of<br />
material closed by a single weld. It is commonly<br />
used for load bearing and securing applications,<br />
but also has a number of specialist variants, such<br />
as hardened security chain, stainless steel and<br />
decorative spiked chain.<br />
Unwelded Chain<br />
Unwelded chain has a lower load capacity than<br />
welded chain and is usually used for lighter<br />
applications. Each link is held closed by the<br />
strength of the material alone.<br />
Polyethylene Chain<br />
Plastic chain is available in a number of styles and<br />
colours and is usually used for decorative<br />
applications.<br />
Chain Assemblies<br />
These are manufactured for specific applications<br />
such as animal teathers<br />

MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED LOAD . MRL<br />
Wire Diameter<br />
The Maximum Recommended Load is the maximum load in Kg<br />
which may be applied in direct tension to the chain when in use. It is<br />
important not to exceed the specified loads which are only applicable<br />
when the chain is undamaged and untwisted.<br />

LONG LINK OR SHORT LINK CHAIN?<br />
Load<br />
For small chain sizes, short link chain will hold<br />
heavier loads than long link. For larger chain sizes<br />
(greater than 6mm) the load capacity is the same<br />

USES<br />
Weight<br />
Short link chain is approximately 20% heavier<br />
than long link<br />
ZINC PLATED *** OUTDOOR OR INDOOR RETAINING / LOAD BEARING / DECORATIVE<br />
BLACK ENAMELLED ** OUTDOOR OR INDOOR RETAINING / DECORATIVE<br />
CHROME PLATED * OUTDOOR OR INDOOR RETAINING / DECORATIVE<br />
Flexibility<br />
Short link chain is more flexible, coils easier and is<br />
more free running<br />
BRASS PLATED * INDOOR DECORATIVE<br />
Economy<br />
Long link chain is less expensive that short link, as<br />
short link chain contains more material and has<br />
more welds per metre.<br />
