British Standard vs. ANSI Chain

British standard chains (also known as metric chains) are similar to ANSI chains in that the pitch is based on fractions of an inch, but they differ in some key dimensions. Many pieces of industrial equipment and conveyors found in the United States were originally manufactured in Europe or other parts of the world where the metric system is commonly used, making British standard chain essential for proper fit and function.
