Cranked-link mill chains of welded construction, attachments and sprockets
1 Scope
This standard specifies the technical requirements for cranked-link mill chains of welded construction, attachments and sprockets suitable for conveying bulk or stacked materials. The chain dimensions specified in this standard ensure interchangeability of both complete chains and individual links for repair purposes.
This standard is applicable to sprockets with between 5 and 36 teeth.
Specifications are also given for eight types of attachments for use with the conveyor chains conforming to this standard.
