chain guard
Without further context, it is hard to say if your sentence refers to a fixed element, i.e. measuring chain guard or if (test) personnel should implement a device or measure to guard the measuring chain from inadverent contact.
Usually Abdeckung can be rendered as:
guard, shroud, cover, enclosure
Good luck!

coverage of the measurement chain
It seems highly likely to me that the abstract sense of "Kette" is meant here. So far everyone has been taking it literally.
A "Messkette" is a measurement chain, e.g. a sequence of sensors, transmission lines, data acquisition devices, etc.
So I think "Kette" means "chain" or "sequence" here.
The meaning in your context is that testing should cover the full extent of the measurement chain or sequence.
