What material is this pump lifting chain made from?
This chain is made from AISI 316L stainless steel, which is known for its excellent corrosion resistance. It features a polished finish for added durability and is suitable for use in demanding environments.
How much weight can this chain safely handle?
The chain has a Working Load Limit (WLL) of 500kg, as specified in the title. It is proof load tested to twice the WLL with a factor of safety of 4:1, ensuring reliable performance for lifting tasks.
What are the dimensions of the chain links?
The master link has a 10mm diameter with an internal length of 80mm and width of 50mm. Intermediate links are 6mm in diameter, 26mm long, and 13mm wide, while chain links are 5mm in diameter, 15mm long, and 7mm wide.
How should I care for and maintain this chain?
Due to its stainless steel construction, the chain requires minimal maintenance to resist corrosion. Regular inspections for wear and occasional cleaning with a mild detergent will help preserve its condition over time.
Is this chain certified or tested for safety?
Yes, every assembly is proof load tested and full certification is available for each chain. Each master link is embossed with a batch number for traceability, meeting high-quality and safety standards.
What is AISI 316L
AISI 316L is a low-carbon variant of 316 stainless steel, widely used in chain manufacturing. The "L" denotes reduced carbon content (0.03% max), which minimises the risk of carbide precipitation during welding or heat exposure - preserving corrosion resistance at weld points.
It contains molybdenum (2-3%), which gives it superior resistance to chlorides and marine environments compared to standard 304 stainless. This makes 316L chain ideal for coastal, offshore, food processing, and chemical industry applications.
The low carbon grade also offers excellent performance in cryogenic conditions. It's a premium specification, balancing strength, hygiene compliance, and exceptional long-term corrosion resistance.
