This is Suncor Stainless 1/2 inch BBB anchor chain, made from grade 316L stainless steel and built to the requirements of DIN 766. The working load limit is 6,500 lb against a basic load of 26,000 lb, and the chain weighs 2.74 lb per foot. It is calibrated and fits many standard windlasses.
Our take
The 6,500 lb working load limit is the number to size against, and 316L stainless is the grade chosen for corrosion resistance. At 2.74 lb per foot it is a calibrated chain meant to run over many standard windlasses.
From our buying guide
Size and grade do not fix the link, so a chain of the right size can still fail to fit a windlass. Maxwell says chain not matched to the chainwheel can jump off the gypsy or jam in the chain pipe.
Check before you buy:
- Your windlass maker's gypsy table lists your chain by its standard or label, since those labels aren't interchangeable.
- The pitch matches, which Maxwell calls the most important measurement for chainwheel fit.
- Working load limits are compared within one maker's table, and you've checked the design factor.
