A Quick Guide to Know More About Stainless Steel Chain

A stainless steel chain is going to offer you the perfect solution when you're looking for a strong chain that will stand in a difficult environment. It is referred to a range of alloy steels with a minimum 11% chromium content. It is the most suited in the cases where you need a maintenance-free operation while keeping availability, safety and reliability to run in parallel.

All sizes of the stainless steel chains are calibrated during the manufacturing phase and then proof load tested at the end of the process. All chains are embossed with a four digit batch number for the traceability purposes.

Application Areas of the Stainless Steel Chains:

The diverse features of the chains make them suitable to be used in multiple application areas-

• Stainless steel chain and fittings are exceptionally corrosion resistant and are widely used in the chemical and manufacturing industries as a general use.
• As it does not rust, this also makes it suitable for outside use as well, especially in marine applications where it may be in contact with water.
• Boating and yachting are also the critical areas of use.
• Another major area is where public hygiene is important, like medical applications, hospitals, catering and the food industry.
• In diversified use for few cases, they can be both mechanically or electro polished, solution annealed, and moreover pickled and passivated as well, as per the conditions. This results in the additional corrosion resistance for the specific cases.
• Safe working loads, proof load and the breaking load are considered for the test reports.
• Acts as of great role in the waste water treatment or food processing applications.
• Also seen within the industrial and agricultural areas.

Features of Stainless Steel Chains:

• Requires low maintenance.
• Can be sterilized or steam-cleaned.
• Retains its cutting edge for long time .
• Does not require paint or other protective finishes.
• Regular stainless steels cannot be hardened as the carbon steel.
• For some cases, it gives maximum resistance to saws and boltcutters.
• Widely acknowledged for their strengths.
• Possesses long life.
• They are well finished.
• Dimensional accuracy is attained for fine results.
• Handle load of varying capacities very swiftly.
• Chain diameter can range from 3mm to 20mm but can also be delivered in larger sizes upon request.
• Can be supplied in full drum lengths but can be cut as per the specific customer requirements.

Opting the Pewag stainless steel chains of good quality is the best approach that facilitates easy load lifting of varied sizes. Better performance can only be achieved when all the security measures have been taken with a good quality material. This will ensure safety in all respects, whether it is of the manpower, equipment or even the site.
