14、gn and construction,and are usually dimensionally interchangeable with equivalentpitch ANSI B29.1,Power Transmission Roller Chains,they differ in that they are normallymade using select steels and/or specially treated chain parts to provide for the higher tensileand fatigue strength properties requi
15、red to meet the rate load capacitites of the overheadhoists in which they are used.Hoist load chains are consequently assigned special chain numbers to distinguish themfrom equivalent pitch B29.1 or other roller chains,which even if dimensionaly interchangeable,may not have the necessary strength or
16、 special characteristics for replacement of the originalhoist load chain.It was recognized by the Roller Chain Technical Committee of the American ChainAssociation that a potential risk of personal injury could occur as a result of chain failureif the original load chiain was inadvertently replaced by a lower strenght chain,or if properuse,care,and maintenace procedures were not followed.Consequently,a committee wasformed in October 1978 to prepare a standared for chains used in overhead hoists
