ASTM Grade 43 High Test Chain

Grade 43 High Test Chain also known as G4 or G40 chain conforms to ASTM A413/A413M standards. Suitable for industrial, construction, agricultural and logging operations. These chains are not designed and produced for overhead lifting purposes. They are tested to 2 times the working load before leaving the factory.

ASTM Grade 43 High Test Chain
Introduction

Made of high quality carbon steel by resistance welding.The surface can be electro-galvanized or hot-dip galvanized. It is particularly suitable for use on marine vessels. It can be sold in bulk or in barrels.

Standards

This product is strictly prohibited from being used for overhead lifting.

!Any surface coating will affect the mechanical properties of the chain.Please ask staff for details.

We follow standards:

A413/A413M


Optional surface treatment: natural black, powder coating, black electrophoresis, electro-galvanizing, hot-dip galvanizing, Dacromet.


Chain should be inspected every six months for cracks, gouges, wear, elongation, nicks, and suitability.

Chain performance can be effected by excessive temperatures or exposure to chemically active environments such as acids, corrosive liquids or fumes.

When mixing chain and components such as hooks and links, all should be rated at the work load limit of the lowest rated component or chain.


Ambient temperature during use:

Min.: -40 ℃

Max.: 200 ℃

If the application scenario exceeds or is lower than the recommended operating temperature, please consult the staff to see if it is feasible.

Q & A
Our chains are mostly exported to more than 30 countries
both in European and Asian markets.
