The table above shows that the strength increases fairly rapidly with the chain size. The 1.8mm chain, for example, breaks at the load around 15 lb (6.8 kg), whereas the break load of 3.4mm chain exceeds 60 lb (27.2 kg).
The table above shows the alloy (R – regular, H – hardenable), thickness (N – normal, L – light), the weight per unit length (g/in) and the break loads for the tested chains.
