English translation:anchor chain size
Explanation:
Anchor Chain Size
Chain size is based on the diameter of the stock used to make the links. Half-inch chain is made from 1/2-inch round stock, then bent and welded to form the link.

Listed chain sizes always refer to the link diameter, i.e. the diameter of the rod of steel which forms the chain link.

agree  vita z: For each chain size there is a pitch (the inside length of the link), and the gauge (the wire diameter), http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64829

disagree  Tanami: gauge - это, конечно, "калибр", но в значении "шаблон" или "мерный инструмент"; калибр якорной цепи - это диаметр сечения прутка, из которого сделано ее общее звено
