Had this happened in warmer water the outcome could have been vastly different.<\/p><p>Now that we have Rose and Jack out of the way we can talk more about why.<\/p><p>For the nerdier, here is a little information on the why.<\/p><p>There are a few elements that have a direct impact on steel in cold weather:<\/p><p>-Carbon<\/p><ul><li>The more carbon, the more brittle the steel.\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>-Nickel<\/p><ul><li>Nickel increases hardenability and toughness,\u00a0<\/li><\/ul><p>-Manganese<\/p><ul><li>Increased manganese, increase hardness. It\u2019s also an Austenite stabilizer that lowers the eutectoid temperature, thereby expanding the austenite phase field (i.e., temperature range over which austenite is stable). I&#8217;ll be honest, this is above basic nerdy.<\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why do we care about cold temperatures?<\/span><\/p><p>It is important because of the reaction of steel when subjected to cold temperatures.<\/p><p>Like what happened to the sinking of the Titanic the molecular state of the grain will change as the temperature drops causing a reduction in ductility\/elongation. When this happens, the steel will no longer show as many signs before braking. Metals that are typically ductile at room temperature may lose that in the colder temperature and become stiffer and therefore brittle.<\/p><p>The brittle transition temperature is the temperature where fractures in steel change from ductile to brittle. In other words, instead of bending, it breaks. The temperatures will differentiate based on how the steel is composed, the profiles, and heat treating. If people are using steel below temperatures of -20 it means that an engineer cannot accurately predict the mode of failure in the low-temp zone. Any brittle failure will be catastrophic, but the failure won\u2019t necessarily be predictable. It will be from a random impact, dynamic loading, or propagate out of a crack or nick.<\/p><p>Charpy impact test, or V-notch test, is utilized to determine the amount of energy absorbed by steel during a fracture. The energy absorbed gives a measurement of toughness and helps determine the brittle transition temp. Two criteria needed to run the test are the amount of load (in foot\/pounds) and the temperature of the sample. The test is relatively quick and cost-effective. It confirms that the steel will be able to stand up in weather conditions required for the end-user.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Why don&#8217;t more factories do these tests?<\/span><\/p><ul><li>There is no requirement under the regulations to do this.<\/li><li>There is no guarantee that you will be able to obtain the results to meet the requirements.<\/li><\/ul><p>The way steel reacts at room temperatures will not give you any indications of how well it will perform at low temperatures. Meaning you can have a perfectly fine shackle that tests within specs but subject it to cold temps and it fails the DNV impact test. That&#8217;s another reason why they don&#8217;t do the test.<\/p><p>Meeting the 42 joules lets the user know the steel used here is still predictable.<\/p><ul><li>Our Golden Pin shackles can meet DNV impact requirements of 42 joules (31ft.lbs) at -20 degrees C (-4 degrees F)<\/li><\/ul><p>For a lot of applications and as long as the user doesn&#8217;t push the safety factors there shouldn&#8217;t be an issue, however, a lot is riding on it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cecd2da elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cecd2da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Vanguard&#8217;s Golden Pin Shackles stand out as a trademarked and top-tier product due to their adherence to stringent industry specifications and commitment to quality:<\/p><ol><li><p><strong>Compliance with Industry Standards:<\/strong> The Golden Pin Shackles meet U.S. Federal Specifications RR-C-271D, Type IV A, Grade A, Class 2, and exceed ASME B30.26 standards.

Here are five key aspects to consider during a shackle inspection:<\/p><ol><li><p><strong>Visible Damage or Deformation:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Examine the shackle for any visible signs of damage, such as bends, cracks, or deformities. Pay close attention to the body, pin, and any load-bearing surfaces. If any visible damage is detected, the shackle should be taken out of service immediately.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><p><strong>Wear and Corrosion:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Check for wear, corrosion, or pitting on the shackle&#8217;s surfaces. Excessive wear can compromise the strength of the shackle, while corrosion or pitting can weaken the material. Address any signs of wear or corrosion promptly and consider the environmental conditions in which the shackle is used.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><p><strong>Proper Function of Moving Parts:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>If the shackle has a movable pin or any other moving parts, ensure they function correctly. The pin should move freely without binding. Verify that the pin&#8217;s threads are intact and that it can be securely tightened and locked in place.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><p><strong>Markings and Identification:<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Check for the manufacturer&#8217;s markings, load rating, and any relevant certifications on the shackle. Ensure that the shackle&#8217;s specifications match the requirements for its intended use. If markings are illegible or missing, it may be challenging to determine the shackle&#8217;s suitability and compliance with standards.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><li><p><strong>Load Rating and Working Load Limit (WLL):<\/strong><\/p><ul><li>Confirm that the shackle&#8217;s load rating and working load limit (WLL) are appropriate for the intended application. The WLL is the maximum load the shackle is designed to handle under normal working conditions. Using a shackle with an insufficient WLL can lead to failure and pose a significant safety risk.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ol><p>Remember that regular inspections are crucial to maintaining the safety and reliability of shackles. If any issues are identified during the inspection, replace the shackle immediately, and always follow the manufacturer&#8217;s guidelines and industry standards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c03b4a5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"c03b4a5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"hconversion\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fb5194 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1fb5194\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5354571 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5354571\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f5ba88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0f5ba88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conversion chart<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc6aa94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fc6aa94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a0<\/p><table width=\"359\"><tbody><tr><td width=\"101\">Description<\/td><td width=\"66\">Vanguard<\/td><td width=\"64\">Crosby\u00a0<\/td><td width=\"64\">CM<\/td><td width=\"64\">Van Beest<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Anchor shackle<\/td><td>2902<\/td><td>G209<\/td><td>MC6**G<\/td><td>G4161<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Chain Shackle<\/td><td>3912<\/td><td>G210<\/td><td>MC7**G<\/td><td>G4151<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Safety Shackle<\/td><td>2914<\/td><td>G2130<\/td><td>MC8**G<\/td><td>G4163<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-145f3d3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-menu-anchor\" data-id=\"145f3d3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"menu-anchor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-menu-anchor\" id=\"black\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-caf124f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"caf124f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06c9387 elementor-position-top elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-box\" data-id=\"06c9387\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-box-wrapper\"><figure class=\"elementor-image-box-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"293\" height=\"300\" data-src=\"https:\/\/vanguardsteelvancouver.com\/wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Black-Shackle-01-min-293x300.png\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium wp-image-565 lazyload\" alt=\"VGD Theatrical Shackle Black\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/vanguardsteelvancouver.com\/wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Black-Shackle-01-min-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/vanguardsteelvancouver.com\/wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Black-Shackle-01-min.png 720w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 293px) 100vw, 293px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 293px;
