Question 3516 Deck General

The correct answer is A) parallel to the longitudinal direction of the chain. Grinding to eliminate shallow surface defects should be done parallel to the longitudinal direction of the anchor chain. This is because grinding in the longitudinal direction helps to smooth out the surface without significantly reducing the thickness of the chain links, which could compromise the structural integrity of the anchor chain. Grinding diagonally, perpendicular, or around the circumference of the chain links could potentially thin the chain links excessively, leading to weakening of the anchor chain.
