1、Designation: A 466/A 466M 07Standard Specification forWeldless Chain1This standard is issued under the fixed designationA 466/A 466M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parenthese
2、s indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers weldless chain suitable forapplications where
3、a light and flexible chain is required. Thematerial may be steel, brass, or bronze.1.2 Seven classes of chain are covered:1.2.1 Class SLSingle-loop chain.1.2.2 Class DLDouble-loop chain.1.2.3 Class SHSash chain.1.2.4 Class SFPlumbers chain.1.2.5 Class SJSingle-jack chain.1.2.6 Class DJDouble-jack ch
4、ain.1.2.7 Class RGRegister chain.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or in other units shallbe regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each systemmust be used independently of the other, without combiningvalues in any way.2. Refe

7、ain, during manufacture, hasbeen found by representative testing to break when a constantlyincreasing force is applied in direct tension.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThis test is a manufacturers attributeacceptance test and shall not be used as criteria for service.3.1.2 lot, nfor the purpose of acceptance tes
8、ting, a lotshall consist of 3000 ft 1000 m or fraction, thereof, of thesame grade and size chain. If a continuous length of chainexceeds 3000 ft, it shall also be considered a lot.3.1.3 working load limit (WLL), nmaximum combinedstatic and dynamic load in pounds or kilograms that shall beapplied in
9、direct tension to an undamaged straight length ofchain.4. Ordering Information4.1 It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to specifyall requirements that are necessary for material ordered underthis specification. Such requirements to be considered include,but are not limited to, the followi
10、ng:4.1.1 Product to conform to Specification A 466/A 466Mand year of issue,4.1.2 Class of chain,4.1.3 Material size or trade size of chain,4.1.4 Material of chain (steel, brass, or bronze),4.1.5 Quantity of chain in feet metres,4.1.6 Length of each piece, if required,1This specification is under the
11、 jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.27 on Steel Chain.Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2007.

Materials and Manufacture5.1 The se
14、lection of the base material is left to the judgmentof the individual chain manufacturer provided that the chaincomplies with the requirements contained within this specifi-cation.5.2 The methods utilized to produce the chain are left to thejudgment of the individual chain manufacturer provided thec
15、hain complies with the requirements contained within thisspecification.6. Dimensional Requirements6.1 The chain shall conform to the dimensional require-ments as specified in Tables 1-7. The tolerance is 67 % fromthe specified nominal dimensions for all chain classes exceptClass SF. Class SF has a m
16、aximum length criterion. The insidelength dimension can be measured either by individual link orby measuring the span of 100 links and dividing by 100.6.2 Material Diameter/ThicknessThe diameter or thick-ness of the material from which the chain is manufactured shallbe at least the dimension shown i
17、n Tables 1-7, subject to thenormal commercial tolerances listed in Specifications A 29/A 29M, A 366/A 366M, A 569/A 569M, and B 248. Oversizedmaterial may be used for all applications.7. Finish7.1 The manufacturers may apply a surface treatment orfinish of their own choice for identification or corr
18、osionresistance unless otherwise specified by the customer in thepurchase order. The surface treatment or finish shall not alterthe chain in a manner that would cause the chain to not meetthe other provisions of this standard.8. Mechanical Requirements8.1 Breaking Force Test:8.1.1 The breaking force
19、 test specimen shall consist of alength not less than 1 ft 0.3 m from the lot of chain.8.1.2 Fixtures for securing chain in a testing machine shallbe properly designed to securely support the shoulder of thelink. The opening in the fixture shall be not more than 25 %larger than the material diameter
20、 of the chain being tested.Links in the testing fixture shall not be considered part of thetest specimen.8.1.3 Test specimens shall conform to the minimum break-ing requirements as prescribed in Tables 1-7 for their respec-tive sizes and classes.8.1.4 Number of TestsThe manufacturer shall perform at
21、least one test per lot of chain.9. Retests9.1 If the original test specimen fails to conform to theminimum breaking force requirements of 6.1.4, two additionaltest specimens from the same lot may be tested. If bothadditional specimens conform to the minimum breaking forcerequirements, the chain will
22、 be considered acceptable.10. Rework and Retreatment10.1 Materials that fail to comply to the requirements fordimensions and mechanical tests may be resubmitted afterbeing reworked.11. Inspection11.1 Prior to testing and inspection at the manufacturersplant, the chain shall be free of paint or other
23、 coatings whichwould tend to conceal defects.11.2 The manufacturer shall afford the purchasers inspectorall reasonable facilities necessary to satisfy him that thematerial is being produced and furnished in accordance withthis specification. Mill inspection by the purchaser shall notinterfere unnece
24、ssarily with the manufacturers operations. Alltests and inspections shall be made at the place of manufacture,unless otherwise agreed.11.3 The purchaser may make tests to govern the acceptanceor rejection of the material at his own laboratory or elsewhere.The tests shall be made at the expense of th
25、e purchaser.12. Rejection and Rehearing12.1 Unless otherwise specified, any rejection based on testsmade in accordance with 11.3 shall be reported to the manu-facturer within five working days from the date of testing bythe purchaser.TABLE 1 Single Loop Chain (Class SL)Trade Size Material Size,in. m
