How to choose the ships anchor chain

There are two different types of ships anchor chain, the stud anchor chain and the studless anchor chain. Their main difference lies in the design and connection method of the chain links.


The stud anchor chain refers to the design of a certain interval between the chain links. Usually, there are connecting gears (ie "stud") on the chain links, so that the wrong chain can be stretched to a certain extent to adapt to different water depths and Anchor requirements. The advantage of a stud anchor chain is that it is flexible and can be adjusted in length to suit different water depths and misalignment depths, but correspondingly, the stud anchor chain is heavier and more expensive


There is no stud design between chain links, and the chain links are directly connected to each other, usually by welding to form a whole anchor chain. Since there is no interval, the length of the non-stop anchor chain cannot be adjusted, but it is stronger and stronger than the stop chain, and it is suitable for occasions that require higher tensile strength and more stable misalignment.

Therefore, when choosing the anchor chain, you need to choose the wright chain with or without stud according to the actual situation. If you need to adjust the length in different water depths and dislocation depths, you can choose a chain with a stud; if you need higher tensile strength and a more stable dislocation, you should choose a chain without a stud.
