ASTM80 Standard Link Chain is a heavy-duty mechanical component compliant with ASTM International standards, widely used in lifting, securing, and transmission applications. Primarily manufactured from carbon steel (e.g., 20Mn2), alloy steel, or stainless steel (AISI 304/316/316L), it meets specifications like ASTM A413 and ASTM A391/A391M, ensuring strict quality control.
Its working load limit (WLL) ranges from 750 lbs to 9750 lbs, with a minimum breaking force of 3,000 lbs to 39,000 lbs, making it suitable for heavy-duty tasks. Surface treatments such as electro-galvanization or hot-dip galvanization enhance corrosion resistance, extending service life in harsh environments.
Before delivery, each chain undergoes automatic load testing and calibration. Traceability marks and test certificates are available upon request, aligning with safety regulations from OSHA and ASME. It is widely recognized in industrial, construction, and marine sectors for reliability and performance.

High Strength & Load Capacity: With WLL of 750–9750 lbs and minimum breaking force of 3,000–39,000 lbs, it handles heavy loads, supported by heat-treated alloy steel (e.g., 20Mn2) that ensures 20% minimum elongation before fracture.
Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel (AISI 304/316/316L) variants or galvanized (electro/hot-dip) carbon steel options resist rust, ideal for marine or humid environments.
Strict Quality Assurance: Complies with ASTM A413/A391/A391M; each chain undergoes automatic load testing. Traceability marks and test certificates are provided for accountability.
Versatile Sizing: Available in diameters from 6mm to 50mm and custom lengths, adapting to diverse industrial needs (e.g., 1/4" to 3/8" for transport, 13.5mm for marine mooring).
Safety Compliance: Aligns with OSHA 1910.184 and ASME B30.9/B30.10 standards, ensuring safe use in overhead lifting and load binding.
Industrial & Construction: Lifting heavy machinery, securing construction materials (e.g., steel beams), and supporting overhead cranes.
Transportation: Tie-down chains for trucks/trailers, towing vehicles, and securing cargo during transit.
Marine & Offshore: Mooring ships, floating pontoon fender systems, buoy anchoring, and yacht/vessel equipment (corrosion-resistant stainless steel variants preferred).
Mining & Manufacturing: Drag chains for material conveyance, transmission chains in production lines, and specialized chains for heavy-duty machinery (e.g., excavators).
Logistics & Warehousing: Load binding for pallets and containers, ensuring stability during storage or shipping.
Q1: Can ASTM80 chains be used for overhead lifting?
A: Yes, but only alloy steel variants (e.g., Grade 70/80) meet ASTM A391/A391M and OSHA/ASME standards for overhead lifting. Carbon steel or G30 variants are limited to ground-level securing (not lifting).
Q3: How to maintain ASTM80 chains to prevent corrosion?
A: For galvanized chains: Regularly clean with water to remove salt/dust; avoid harsh chemicals. For stainless steel chains: Wipe with a dry cloth after use in marine environments; apply anti-corrosion lubricant quarterly.
Q3: What’s the difference between ASTM80 and Grade 80 (G80) chains?
A: ASTM80 is a general ASTM standard covering multiple grades (G30/G43/G70), while G80 is a specific high-strength grade (800 N/mm² ultimate strength) under ASTM80. G80 has a 4:1 design factor (WLL vs. breaking force) and is for heavy lifting; lower ASTM80 grades (G30) are for light-duty tasks.
Q3: What temperature range can ASTM80 chains withstand?
A: Standard ASTM80 chains (non-heat-resistant variants) are limited to temperatures below 400°F (200°C). For high-temperature applications (e.g., petrochemicals), specialized heat-resistant alloys may be required (confirm with manufacturers).
