Hey, Gene, I'm making a lift, sort of a dumbwaiter if you will. My
bar, screen room, patio, deck and pool are in the back of my house,
which is a daylight basement. Above is a deck coming off of my kitchen
one floor up. So, I'm thinking of using #25 carbon steel roller chain.
I'm guessing that the load would never be over 100 pounds on this
thing, unless my kids get to using it as an amusement ride! So, I got
to thinking, I wonder what the ultimate strength of #25 roller chain
is in tension? Do you have any idea where to find this information or
do you happen to have it handy? Thanks!
Any graduate engineer in the construction field would know where to find
that information.

Hell, I know where to find that information.

Oh, really? You do know that the values change by manufacturer, don't
you?
You do know that different manufacturers use different grades of steel
IN their chain, don't you?
You do know that different manufacturers various chain parts, like
pins, rollers, standard links, make-up links, etc. vary a lot, don't
you?
In other words, you don't have a damned clue what you are talking
about, go back to watching your Drew Carey reruns.


I'm smart enough to call the tech support folks at a chain manufacturer
or distributor and ask, dummy.

Your question was, "Do you have any idea where to find this information?"

My answer was, "I know where to find that information.

D'oh.

Do you suppose these folks might have some answers?

Nothing derogatory there! New thread time, Harry?
