Wire thickness: 10 mm, chain link length outside: 48.5 mm, chain link length inside: 28.5 mm, chain link width outside: 31.5 mm, chain link width inside: 11.5 mm, breaking load: 5,000 kg, weight per metre, chain: 2,070 g Areas of application of the link chain sold by the metre: in principle, the stronger the chain links, the higher the load capacity of the chain. A stainless steel chain is universally used. As a lamp chain, the chains are just as well suited as a barrier chain or anchor chain. The stainless steel chain is also used for lashing, lifting and transporting loads. A metal chain is also very popular for securing steep and often used mountain paths. The short link stainless steel chain cannot reel due to the geometry. In addition, the iron chain with its higher breaking load is suitable for use with winches. Each link chain must be adjusted to the load to work with. A short link stainless steel chain sold by the metre is much better for tying or securing than a long-linked one. The short link stainless steel chain is much more flexible in contrast to a long-link chain. The round steel chain is manufactured in industrial quality with a high breaking load (5000 kg at 10 mm). TIG welded stainless steel chains are particularly stable and have a very high resistance to environmental influences. This is achieved through the use of high-alloy stainless steel (stainless steel A4 (1.4401) sea water and acid resistant). For this reason, the use in the maritime sector is very possible. A metal chain is suitable for hanging a wide range of objects, e.g. as a light chain. It is also often used as a rain chain drain chain or anchor chain. In combination with a padlock, the steel chain can be used by the metre for securing buildings and properties, or as a lashing chain for securing. A stainless steel chain is also suitable for connecting objects.
