¹ While chain is at temperature shown in first column.
² When chain is used at room temperature after having been subjected to temperatures shown in first column.
Acidic chemicals and atmospheres
Alloy chain and Grade 80 and Grade 100 components must not be used in
acidic conditions.
Extreme temperature conditions
The environmental temperature affects the Working Load Limit of Grade 80 and
Grade 100 chain slings as shown in the chart beside :
Grade 80 and Grade 100 alloy chain slings must not be used at temperatures outside the ranges in the above chart.
Use
Never make knots with a lifting sling ;
Do not exceed specified Working Load Limit (W.L.L.).
