Grade 43 Chain Weight

Grade 43 is an excellent all purpose commercial quality chain.

Grade 43 chain weight. It is designed for use in load binding towing logging and other applications requiring high strength chain. Astm states that alloy chain shall be able to elongate a minimum of 20 before fracture 7 3 5. Grade 43 material steel maximum working load lbs 5400 lb. To ensure that alloy chain consistently meets this requirement astm requires the use of certain alloying elements in the manufacturing of the steel for alloy steel chain.

Grade 43 high test chain 3 8 high strength medium carbon steel chain with good wear characteristics ideal for most tie down applications. Grade 43 chain is embossed using a 43 or a g4. It is stronger than g30 chain and is available in many finishes. G30 or g43 chain should not be used for overhead lifting.

G43 430 newton square millimeter 62 366 pound force per square inch. The higher the grade the greater the break strength. More strength with lower weight makes g43 high test chain popular for boats with electric windlasses. Available in self colored shot blast electro galvanized powder coated and hot galvanized finishes.

Available in self colored shot blast electro galvanized powder coated and hot galvanized finishes. It is not rated safe for overhead lifting. An excellent choice for ground tackle grade 43 chain is about 35 stronger than conventional bbb chain which allows you to save weight without sacrificing anchoring security. Made from a higher strength heat treated carbon steel that has a load rating approximately 20 percent higher than grade 43.
