10mm DIN766 MF Grade 40 Solid Zinc Galvanised Calibrated Anchor Chain

Jimmy Green 10mm MF Grade 40 Hot Dip Galvanised Calibrated Anchor Chain is sourced exclusively from MF Catenificio Frigerio.

The MF Catenificio chain is manufactured, hot dip galvanised, and proof-tested in their modern research, testing, and production facility, located near Lecco, Lake Como, Italy.

The proof load testing process ensures that each individual weld has been completed successfully.

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

MF have 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 relatively bright appearance before being exposed to the elements.

Check your calibration:

10mm Calibrated Anchor Chain is available in two different calibrations - ISO4565 (10 X 30) AND DIN766 (10 X 28)

It is essential to check the size and calibration of your gypsy/chain before you order

If you are unsure, we can help you make a decision - we will take all reasonable steps to ensure you receive the correct chain.

The simplest way to verify that you are purchasing the correct calibration is to measure your existing chain, provided that it fits correctly.

We measure 10 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.

DETERMINING THE CORRECT CALIBRATION

N.B. The measurement of an old chain may be slightly longer than that of a new one due to wear and elongation during use.

10mm MF Grade 40 Anchor Chain is generally suitable for yachts up to approximately 16 metres, length overall

Splicing and Break Load Compatibility: 10mm Grade 40 Anchor Chain is compatible with 18mm diameter nylon and polyester.

Factor in all these criteria when deciding a suitable anchor chain size for your yacht:

• Displacement : Length ratio
• Your cruising intentions
• The anticipated anchorage conditions, e.g. depth, seabed holding characteristics, the length of fetch and degree of exposure to prevailing winds
• The length of chain that will be deployed and any extra scope provided by an anchor warp
• The weight and design of the anchor

Your anchor rode is only as strong as the weakest link, so ensure that all your connectors and shackles are rated to the requisite break load.

1Kn Force = 101.972Kg Break Load

63Kn = approximately 6424kg

Maximum Pin Diameter refers to the largest pin that will just fit into the end link of a 10mm DIN766/ISO chain.

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

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 Test Certificate.
A copy of the corresponding MF Catenificio Test Certificate is available with your order on request.

MF chain manufacturing has Lloyd's Register approval to the ultimate ISO 9001 quality standard:

MF LLOYDS REGISTER APPROVAL TO ISO 9001
