 OUR GRADE 2 REQUIREMENTS

Grade U2 Anchor Chain

Anchor Chain of the Grade U2, also known as K2, is one of the most common types of chain cables used in the maritime industry. It is the evolution of U1 offering the advantage of being high-tensile. There are different variants, such as the U2(a) grade, that are produced by Bilbao.

Elongation & Resistance

A Grade U2 anchor chain can elongate up to 30% of it's original length without suffering permanent damage. It is related to the reduction of area, which makes the chain able to undergo necking, which is a type of localized reduction in cross-sectional area.

Material: ​​​S355J2 Steel

Grade U2 chains can be manufactured with different steel casts, but here at Bilbao for quality reasons our preferred choice is ​S355J2 Non-Alloy Structural Steel. This steel cast contains silicon, which increases the strength of the material, and for corrosion resistance creates a thin protective oxide layer.

Enhanced Weldability

Our customers find it important that their chains are easy to weld on a challenging environment such as the maritime industry. We produce our Grade U2 chains with moderate carbon and low sulfur content to ensure that steel can be welded effectively without cracking.

ISO Standards & Certification

Our anchor chains, including U2 ship chain cables, are manufactured according to ISO standards and can be certified with LS, ABS, DNV, BV and others, according to customer demands. We have strict QA procedures to ensure the quality and reliability of our chains.

Grade U2 Connectors

Here at Bilbao Anclas y Cadenas not only we are able to produce U2 chain cables, but also their connectors and accessories. We produce Grade U2 shackles, Grade 2 swivels, 3 link adaptors and also crown shackles, which are connected to the anchor.
