There is a certain relationship between the load-bearing capacity of the chain and the use environment, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Temperature factors:
High temperature environment will reduce the strength of the chain material, thereby reducing the load-bearing capacity.
Low temperature environment will make the chain material brittle, which will also reduce the load-bearing capacity.
2. Chemical factors:
Corrosive gases or liquids will corrode the chain material, reducing its strength and load-bearing capacity.
Acid and alkali environment will also accelerate the corrosion loss of the chain.
3. Humidity factors:
Humid environment will accelerate the rust and corrosion of the chain and reduce the load-bearing capacity.
In a dry environment, the friction and wear of the chain will also reduce its load-bearing performance.
4. Vibration factors:
Frequent vibration will accelerate the fatigue loss of the chain and reduce its load-bearing life.
Large vibration may also cause the chain to break directly.
Therefore, when choosing a chain, not only its initial load-bearing capacity should be considered, but also the actual use environment factors should be combined to select suitable materials and sizes to ensure that the chain can maintain good load-bearing performance for a long time during use. For chains used in harsh environments, appropriate protective measures must be taken.
