Third Symbol (Type of Hook)

S - Sling hook. G - Grab hook. F - Foundry hook. L - Latchlok hook. CS - Clevis Sling hook. CG - Clevis Grab hook. CF - Clevis Foundry hook. CL - Clevis Latchlok hook. SL - Swivel Latchlok hook.

Sling Tags are Coded with Numerals

1 through 4 to reflect number of branches in sling, additional coding is defined as follows: AS - Adjustable single. AD - Adjustable double. ES - Endless single. ED - Endless double. SAL - Single adjustable loop. DAL - Double adjustable loop. SB - Single basket. DB - Double basket.

HOW TO ORDER CHAIN SLINGS

1- Determine the maximum load to be lifted by the chain sling you are ordering. 2- Choose the proper type of chain sling (single, double, etc.) which the size, shape and weight of the load dictate. 3- Estimate the approximate angle to the load in which the legs of the sling will be positioned for operation. 4- Select the proper attachments for your sling. 5- Determine the overall reach from bearing point on masterlink to bearing point on attachment. 6- Refer to the Working Load Limit Chart and to your pre-determined angle of the type sling you have selected. 7- Choose the chain size that meets your requirements. 8- When entering your order be sure you give complete information as to the size, reach and attachments required. Note: Angle to the load an multiple leg slings will be 60¡Æ or greater as long as the distance between lifting eyes of load is NOT greater than reach shown on identification tag.

CARE, USE AND INSPECTION

The life and strength of Sling chain slings depend on proper inspection, maintenance and use. For additional information, refer to ANSI B30.9 and OSHA 1910.184.

Care

Chain requires careful storage and regular maintenance; ¢À Store chains on an A frame in a clean, dry place. ¢À To avoid corrosion, oil chains before prolonged storage. ¢À Do not heat Alloy 80 chain; this will alter its thermal treatment. ¢À Do not plate or change surface finish of chain.

Use

To protect both operators and materials, observe these precautions when using chain slin ¢À Before use, inspect chain and attachments following the instructions under "Inspection" below. ¢À Do not exceed working load limit. Any of the factors listed here can reduce the load the chain will hold: ¢À Acceleration in rate of load application can produce dangerous overloading. ¢À Variation in the angle of the load to the sling - as the angle decreases, the working load of the sling will increase. ¢À Twisting, knotting or kinking- subjects links to unusualloading, decreasing the working load of the sling. ¢À Use for purposes other than those for which slings are intended can reduce the working load of the sling. ¢À Free chain of all twists, knots and kinks. ¢À Center load in hook(s); hook latches must not support load. ¢À Avoid sudden jerks when lifting and lowering. ¢À Balance all loads; avoid tipping of loads. Use pads around sharp corners. ¢À Do not drop load on chains. ¢À Match the size and working load limit of attachments such as hooks or ringsto the size and working load limit of the chain. ¢À For overhead lifting, use only alloy chain and attachments (grade 80).

Inspection

It is import!ant both to inspect chain slings regularly and to keep a record of all chain inspections. Follow this guide for such an inspection system; ¢À Before inspecting, clean chains with a non-acid/noncaustic solvent so that marks, nicks, wear and other defects are visible. ¢À Inspect each link for these conditions. ¢À Twists or bends. ¢À Nicks or gouges. ¢À Excessive wear at bearing points. ¢À Stretch. ¢À Distorted or damaged master links, coupling links or attachments; especially those spread in throat opening of hooks. ¢À Mark plainly with paint each link or attachment showing any of the conditions listed hereto indicate rejection; remove from service until properly repaired.

Wear Allowances of Alloy 80 Chains

Measure cross section at link ends to determine wear. If chain is worn to less than the minimum allow mm Maximum Allowable Wear Minimum Thickness Allowable at Link Ends* 7 1.1684 5.1562 10 1.9812 7.1374 13 2.7686 8.7122 16 3.5560 10.6934 20 3.9624 13.4874 22 4.3434 15.8750 26 4.7498 18.6436 32 6.3500 23.0124 *Applies to Alloy Grade 80 chain only.

USE OF CHAIN UNDER HEAT CONDITIONS

When the chain itself is heated to temperatures shown here, working load limits should be reduced as indicated.

¢À If more than single sling, put weight of load equally. Do not twist the chain. ¢À While the suspension work, or while you work around the place where the chain could be earth,     do not conduct a welding job (it will cause arcstrike). ¢À When cutting the chain, use a high-speed cutter in order to prevent heat effects (gas cutting is not advised). ¢À Regular check-ups along the following standard is advised.

Inspection & Abandonment Standard
	Inspection Parts Standard Repairs & Counter-measures Arcstrike Small arcstrike is a mortal wound. Abandon Fissure As Above If its fissure depth is less than depth d X0.05, use grinder or file to smoothen it. Scar Depth Fused Part max. 0.07d. Others max. 0.1d Same as fissure Discoloration Gray & deep blue are disapproved As a result of heat, dis-coloration occurs.

Inspection Parts Standard Repairs & Counter-measures Bend x = max.0.1d When the bend or twist occurs, it is believed to be caused by concentrated load. Choose a suitable chain. Twist x = max.0.1d

	Inspection Parts Standard Repairs & Counter-measures Wear x = max.0.1d If it reaches the standard situation in a short period of time, it is caused by dust or overload. Elongation y = max.1.05P If pitch of the link is elongated, it is a sign of overload. Replace the chain.

Fall Of Breaking Load By Planting Or Painting

Plating ¢À As a result of different plating temperature and tempering temperature or other factors, the plated goods sometimes weaken by about 15%. As strong chain plating is special, please refer to us.

Painting ¢À If testing is carried out while paint or oil is stuck on the chain, strength of chain may fall by a maximum of 8%. Oil must be removed before test-using. (Breaking elongation of chain will be reduced by oil.). Elimination of oils is compulsory as stated in ISO. Test regulations. During practical use, there will be no occurrence of such problems as paint are removed during use. ¢À Breaking load values in our catalogue are those tested with unpainted products. ¢À Reference : ANSI B30.9 and OSHA 1910.184, CM,SKS
