Marine Chain
All Ozzi Marine OMC G43 Marine Anchor Chain is tested during production to ensure that it meets the required standards for strength, durability, and safety. The testing process typically involves the following steps
Material testing:
The raw materials used to make the chain are tested for their mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation. This ensures that the chain is made from high-quality materials that can withstand the stresses of marine environments.
Manufacturing process testing:
The manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested to ensure that the chain is produced to the required specifications. This may involve testing the heat treatment process, the welding process, and the surface finish of the chain.
Proof testing:
Once the chain is manufactured, it undergoes a proof test to verify its strength and durability. The chain is loaded with a weight that is a certain percentage of its rated capacity, and held under load for a specified period of time. This test ensures that the chain can withstand the stresses of normal use.
Break testing:
In addition to the proof test, some chains may undergo a break test to determine their ultimate strength. This involves loading the chain to failure to determine the maximum load it can withstand.
Certification:
Once the chain has passed all of the required tests, it is certified to meet the relevant standards. This certification ensures that the chain is safe and reliable for use in marine environments.
