Clearance 10mm MF DAMS Grade 70 Calibrated Anchor Chain

Jimmy Green Marine 10mm DIN766 MF DAMS Grade 70 is sourced exclusively and directly from MF Catenificio Frigerio, a modern chain manufacturing plant in Italy.

MF Catenificio manufacturing is all carried out in their research, test, and ISO9001-attested production facility.
The entire state-of-the-art enterprise is located in Olginate, near Lecco, Lake Como, Italy.

Every link is proof-tested during production as part of their quality control.
The proof load testing process ensures that each individual weld has been completed successfully.


DAMS stands for Downsizing Anchoring and Mooring System

MF Calibrated Anchor Chain features enhanced Solid Zinc Galvanising treatment with greater micron depth and prolonged protection against corrosion.



MF has developed an enhanced Solid Zinc Galvanising treatment in conjunction with the standard hot dip galvanising process.
Solid Zinc Galvanising is an MF duplex treatment where both aspects of the process are complementary hot dip molten zinc galvanisation.
The improved coverage, micron depth and adhesion properties extended the effective working life of the galvanising by up to 25%.
Solid Zinc galvanising has a bright smooth appearance.

Your anchor rode is only as strong as the weakest link, so ensure all your connectors and shackles are rated to the necessary break load.
The strength of Grade 70 means that it is best considered an all-chain solution rather than a chain/rope combination.


Check your calibration:

There are two calibrations for 10mm chain: DIN766 (P28) and ISO4565 (P30)

It is essential to check the size and calibration of your gypsy/chain before you order.
If you are unsure, we can help you decide - we will take all reasonable steps to ensure you order the correct chain.
The simplest way to check that you are buying the correct calibration is to measure your existing chain, providing it fits correctly.

We measure ten links because, in practice, it is difficult to measure one link accurately enough.
The links should be laid out flat and pulled tight.
Measure from the outside edge to the outside edge.

How to determine the correct calibration
N.B. The measurement for an old chain may be a little longer than new due to a degree of wear and elongation in use
 

Every link is tested to the proof load during manufacturing, ensuring that each weld has been completed successfully.

1Kn Force = 101.972Kg Break Load

70Kn = approximately 7138kg

Select the largest possible galvanised shackle (or anchor connector) by pin diameter to fit the chain.

Jimmy Green Quality Control and Accountability
Every length of chain is checked and labelled with the manufacturer, the date received and a corresponding batch number when it arrives.
The batch number is then recorded at the point of sale.
Every chain order is, therefore, traceable and accountable to the manufacturer's Test Certificate.
