Requirements for non-calibrated electrically welded, round steel short link chains, grade 30 in two classes, class 1 for arduous duties; class 2 for general duties.

This British Standard specifies requirements for non-calibrated electrically welded round steel short link chains, grade 30, for general engineering purposes in a range of sizes from 5.5 mm to 40 mm.

Two classes of chain are covered, i.e.

class 1: for arduous duties

class 2: for general duties

Chain produced to this standard is not considered suitable for lifting applications.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
