 STUD LINK ANCHOR CHAIN
GENERAL INFORMATION
Stud Link Anchor Chain
Stud Link Anchor Chain is cross-braced on each link to provide increased strength and resistance to crushing. The
individual links are named Common Links, with a standard full chain length of 27.5m referred to as a shot or a cable.

Chain shots are usually joined using Kenter Joining Shackles.

Stud Link Chain is most commonly used on larger ocean going vessels such as merchant ships, commercial fishing vessels
and super yachts.
Stud Link Anchor Chain conforms with Standard ISO1704 and is supplied with Lloyds (LR) certification. Other approvals are
available on request.
• Available in self-colour or hot dip galvanised finish.
• Manufactured in China.

• Not suitable for lifting applications.

THE BEST CHAIN FOR A TOUGH JOB

We uses high quality steel, especially formulated
and heat treated for tuna fishing. Every heat treated
lot is sampled and destructively tested for material
strength and link elongation – assuring compliance
to designed criteria. All Tuna Net Chain is then proof
tested, 100%, every link.
The Tuna Net Chain is continuously hot dip
galvanised to provide the deep strong protective coating
you have come to expect which has over 30% more
zinc per unit volume than mechanical coating.
In the hot dip process, the galvanised zinc coating is
alloyed with the base steel creating a metallurgical
bond that is several orders of magnitude stronger
than mechanical bonding.
• Manufactured in the China.

• Not suitable for lifting applications.
