What This Product Is For
ASTM80 Grade 43 high test chain is a carbon steel chain made in full compliance with ASTM80, with a higher strength-to-weight ratio than proof coil. It is used for industrial rigging, towing, logging, construction and general load securement. Nominal weights and dimensions carry a plus or minus 4% tolerance. It is not for overhead lifting.
Key Benefits
- Higher strength-to-weight ratio than proof coil, so a lighter chain covers the same securement duty
- ASTM80 compliance for buyers whose specifications call for ASTM rather than NACM
- Good wear resistance for logging and construction site abrasion
- Stated plus or minus 4% tolerance on weights so drum quantities can be planned
Problems It Solves
- Proof coil chain oversized to reach the required strength
- Specification mismatch when documentation calls for ASTM80
- Chain wear in abrasive outdoor operations
Application Scenarios
- Industrial rigging assemblies
- Towing and recovery work
- Logging and lumbering operations
- Construction site load securement
Who It Is For
- Distributors working to ASTM specifications
- Towing, logging and construction contractors
- Industrial buyers standardizing heavy-duty chain
Technical Features
- Full compliance with ASTM80 standards
- Grade 43 high test classification
- Quality carbon steel construction
- Nominal weights and dimensions to a plus or minus 4% tolerance
Customization Options
- Chain size selected against your duty requirement
- Protective finish for the operating environment
- Packing format by order
Quality Control
- Link dimensions checked against the ASTM80 table
- Weight per length verified within the 4% tolerance
- Grade marking and finish checked before packing
How It Compares With The Alternatives
Compared with ASTM80 G30 proof coil chain
G43 carries more load at the same weight, which is why it replaces oversized proof coil on towing and logging
Compared with NACM96 G43 high test chain
Same grade under a different governing specification, chosen by which one the customer's paperwork names
How To Use And Maintain It
- Do not use for overhead lifting
- Match chain size to the working load limit required
- Allow for the 4% tolerance when calculating weight per drum
- Retire chain showing stretched links or deep gouging
What We Need From You To Quote
- Size or diameter, and the grade if it is specified
- Quantity and packing format
- Surface finish for the environment it works in
- Classification society, if a certificate is required
- Destination port for freight
