Recommended usage: 316 stainless steel chains can withstand conditions that can deteriorate regular steel chains. Stainless steel chains are commonly used in industrial and marine applications, and in harsh environments were chemicals are present. 316 stainless steel chains are also more corrosion resistant than 304 stainless steel chains.
Note: When using fittings with a chain, the fitting must match the trade size of the chain. The fitting must also meet or exceed the chain's grade. Do not use 316 stainless steel chains for overhead lifting applications or exceed the working load limit.
