Chain Definitions
INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONS GOVERNING THE PURCHASE AND USE OF CHAIN WORKING LOAD LIMIT: The "Working Load Limit" is the maximum load in pounds which should ever be applied to chain, even when chain is new and when the load is uniformly applied in direct tension to a straight untwisted length of chain. The term "working load limit", contains no implication of what load the chain will withstand if any of the above factors are changed. Any of the following factors or any abuses will lessen the load that the chain assembly will withstand.
Tip loading of hooks
Twisting of the chain
Disfigurement
Deterioration of the component by wear, usage or corrosion.
Jerking or acceleration in the rate of application of the load.

Impact is the sudden application of a load. An impact load multiplies the stress on the chain very rapidly and should be avoided.

Use for a purpose other than that for which the particular type of component was intended.

Use to carry a load in excess of the published working load limit.

CAUTION: Assemblies of chain and components should be rated according to the working load limit of the weakest component within the assembly.

INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING ATTACHMENTS:
Where attachments, such as hooks or rings are desired for use with chain in sustaining loads, care should be taken to select the attachments of the type, grade and size recommended for use with the type, grade and size chain. Misuse or abuse of chain and attachments may result in serious personal injury.
