WORKING LOAD LIMIT designates the maximum stress in pounds which
should ever be applied to chain. This refers also to chain in the
best condition, when new, and when the load is applied uniformly
to a straight, untwisted length of chain.
WARNING: WORK LOAD LIMIT MUST NOT BE EXCEEDED. BREAK TEST LOAD is
the minimum load in pounds at which new chain has been found by
experience to break, under tests in which the load is applied in
direct tension to a straight length of chain with a uniform rate
of speed on a standard chain testing machine.
