Applications
1.4 ENVIRONMENTALLY RESISTANT CHAINS These are chains that offer high resistance to corrosion or heat due to special coatings or materials. The approximate relationship between these chains is shown in Figure 1.10. Table 1.6 shows a variety of environmentally resistant chains and materials.

NOTE: The chains surrounded with a thick line have a temperature range of -20˚ to 400˚C. Before using these chains in temperatures out- side this range, contact the manufacturer. In this Figure, the left-to-right direction shows the relative corrosion resistance (right is more resistant than left). The average tensile strength or maximum allowable tension may differ even between chains of the same size.
