Anchor chain refers to a special chain that connects the anchor and the hull and transmits the anchor's grip. It is often composed of anchor end links, intermediate links and end links.
The length of the anchor chain is measured in sections, and the standard length of each anchor chain is 27.5m. The internodes are connected with connecting links or connecting shackles. Usually, the chain length of the main anchor on each side of the 10,000-ton ship is about 12 knots.
Application
For various projects, such as bridges over highways, and railways, urban elevated roads, overpasses, subways, tunnels, water conservancy work. These products are also applied to various industries, such as shipbuilding, machine manufacturing,electric power, petroleum and port.
Effect
1. Connect the anchor and the ship, and transmit the anchor's holding force to the hull;
2. When anchoring, the thrown anchor chain has a certain weight, which can play a certain buffering effect on the external force such as wind and current on the ship in the water;
3. The force of the anchor chain on the horizontal bottom part of the anchor is kept level, which is conducive to the reliable bottom of the anchor. At the same time, this part of the anchor chain can also provide a part of the anchoring force due to the blocking effect of the soil.
