Chains manufactured to the BS standards are covered by ISO606, BS228 and DIN 8187. The pitch sizes covered by this standard are 6 mm (0,236 inch) to 114,3 mm (4,500 inch). They are characterised by a larger pin diameter than the ANSI chain. This results in better wear resistance due to a larger load bearing area.
