Surface Area for Chain Link
Surface Area for Chain Link
(OP)
Hi Guys,
I have been asked to carry out CP calculations for mooring chains. However, I am not sure if I am calculating the surface area for mooring chain correctly.
I have attached an example of the chain. Please guide me the correct method for surface area calculations.
Thanks

How accurate do you think you are to need?
In water or in air?

It does not need to be accurate. The surface area calculation is in Air. Apolgoies for the broken link.
I agree the last option is to use toroid and 2 cylinders as base case for calculation.
