Grade 43 High Test Welded Steel Chain (NACM96)

Zinc plated finish

Produced to the NACM standards

Do not use in overhead applications

Grade 43 High Test Welded Steel Chain (NACM96) is a type of chain that is commonly used in applications where high strength and durability are required, but not as heavy-duty as those requiring Grade 70 or Grade 80 chains.

The “high test” designation indicates that the chain has undergone a specific heat treatment process that increases its strength and toughness. This process involves heating the steel to a high temperature and then quenching it in water or oil to harden the metal.
