Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 3076 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 111, Round steel link chains, chain slings, components
and accessories, Subcommittee SC 1, Chains and chain slings.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 3076:1984), which has been technically revised.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 1834 apply.
4 General conditions of acceptance
The sling chains shall comply with the requirements of ISO 1834 as well as those of this International Standard.
5 Dimensions
5.1 Nominal size, d
n
The nominal size, d , of the sling chain shall be one of the nominal sizes listed in Table 1, column 1, corresponding
n
to the nominal diameter of the steel wire in accordance with ISO 16124 or bar in accordance with ISO 1035-1
from which the sling chain is made.
Other nominal sizes may be used, provided the dimensions and tolerances are calculated in accordance
with Annex A.
NOTE Intermediate nominal chain sizes increase the potential of mismatch with mating components. Manufacturers
of sling chain and component assemblies are expected to ensure that the sling chain and components are compatible.

5.2 Material diameter and tolerance
The definition of material diameter and method of measurement shall be in accordance with ISO 1834. The diameter
tolerance for the nominal sizes shall be as listed in Table 1, column 2, calculated in accordance with Annex A.
5.3 Weld diameter
The maximum diameter at the weld (see Figure 1 and Table 1, columns 8 and 9) shall not exceed the following:
— type 1: the maximum diameter at the weld shall not be in excess of 10 % above the nominal size in any direction;
— type 2: the maximum diameter at the weld shall not be in excess of 10 % above the nominal size in any
direction perpendicular to the plane of the link and 25 % in the other planes.
NOTE Type 1 eliminates functional problems, such as kinking or locking, by severely limiting the weld oversize to
10 % of the nominal diameter. Type 2 ensures freedom from these hazards by limiting the oversize beyond the 10 %
allowed under type 1 to certain areas of the link only (see Figure 1), thus providing clearance where required.
5.4 Length dimensionally affected by welding
The length dimensionally affected by welding, e, shall not extend by more than 0,6 d to either side of the centre
n
of the link (see Figure 1).
5.5 Pitch
The dimensions and tolerances for the pitch, p, shall be as given in Table 1, columns 3 and 4 and as shown in
Figure 1 calculated in accordance with Annex A.
5.6 Width
The dimensions for the widths, w, shall be as given in Table 1, columns 5, 6 and 7 and as shown in Figure 1
calculated in accordance with Annex A.
6 Material and manufacture
6.1 Quality of material
Within the limitations given in 6.1.1 to 6.1.4, it is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the sling chain to select
the type of steel to be used so that the finished sling chain, where suitably heat treated, complies with the
mechanical properties specified in this International Standard and also possesses adequate low-temperature
ductility and toughness to provide resistance against impact loading.
The low-temperature ductility and toughness shall be achieved either by complying with the alloying elements
specified in 6.1.5 or by complying with the toughness-testing requirements specified in 6.4.5.
6.1.1 Type of steel
The steel used shall be produced by the electric process or by an oxygen-blown process.
6.1.2 Deoxidation
The steel shall be fully killed and shall be made in conformity with a suitable deoxidation process in order to
obtain an austenitic grain size of 6 or finer where tested in accordance with ISO 643.
To ensure the sling chain is stabilized against strain-age embrittlement during service, the s
