How do I know what size anchor chain I have?
Anchor chain is measured in two primary ways – thickness of the metal in the link, and the length of the link. The most precise method is to use Vernier calipers, though with care a measuring tape can get a close enough estimate.

What does G4 mean on a chain?
G4, G40, G43 -High Test Made from high carbon steel, it has twice the working load of BBB chain which allows a smaller chain size to be used. It is marked approximately every foot with the manufacturer’s symbol and grade marking: G4, G40, G43 or G400.
What is load capacity on a 3/8 chain?
Which is stronger Grade 43 or Grade 70 chain?
Grade 70. Grade 70 chain is about 20 percent stronger than Grade 43. It is made from a heat-treated carbon steel that is incredibly sturdy and durable. Grade 70 industrial chains typically come in a gold chromate finish for easy identification – as well as protection from abrasion and scratches.
What is the load rating on a 3/8 chain?
This heavy duty lifting chain has a working load limit (WLL) up to 7,100 lbs. 20 feet of 3/8″ grade 80 overhead lifting chain is perfect for below-the-hook products and adjustable lifting beams. Overhead lifting chain should be used in accordance with OSHA guidelines.
How is chain strength calculated?
The WLL is computed by dividing the chain’s minimum breaking strength by its assigned safety factor rating. The chain’s WLL is determined by its diameter and grade. Factors that affect a chain’s WLL is constant wear, use, twists, alteration, corrosion, misuse.
What size anchor chain do I need?
Determining how long your anchor rode should be is as simple as multiplying the deepest water you expect to anchor in by 8. As for rope size, the rule of thumb is 1/8″ of rope diameter for every 9′ of boat length. So if you expect to anchor your 26′ boat in 30′ of water, you need 240′ of 3/8″ nylon rope.
What size chain do I need for a G43 anchor?
