Grade 43 Chain Electro Galvanized Finish

All of our Laclede Grade 43 Chain is Made in the USA. To help identify the grade and manufacturer all of our Grade 43 Chain is embossed with”L4”. The L is the chain manufacturer Laclede. The 4 identifies this as a Grade 43 Chain. Grade 43 chain is available in finishes like, Self Color (or Raw Steel), Shot Blasted, Electro-Galvanized or Hot Dipped Galvanized.

Grade 43 is used in similar applications as Grade 30, but where greater working load limits are experienced. High Test Chain is used in agriculture, construction and the trucking industry.

All of our Grade 43 Chain is 100 percent Proof Tested. Certs available free of charge.

Working Load Limit (WLL): (rated capacity) Is the maximum working load that should be applied In direct tension to an undamaged straight length of chain.

Proof Test: (manufacturing test force) Is a term designating the minimum tensile force which has been applied to a chain under a constantly increasing force In direct tension during the manufacturing process. These loads are manufacturing integrity tests and shall not be used as criteria for service or design purpose.

Minimum Breaking Force: The minimum force at which the chain during manufacture has been found by testing to break when a constantly increasing force is applied in direct tension. Breaking force values are not guarantees that all chain segments will endure these loads. This test is a manufacturer's attribute acceptance test and SHALL NOT be used as criteria for service and design purpose.
