A chain of four dimensions each of 50 mm with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.2 mm gives an overall length whose tolerance is

  • A.plus or minus 0.2 mm
  • B.plus or minus 0.4 mm
  • C.plus or minus 0.05 mm
  • D.plus or minus 0.8 mm

Answer: D

Correct answer: plus or minus 0.8 mm

In a chain each dimension is measured from the previous feature, so the position of the last is the sum of four independent dimensions and the worst-case tolerances add arithmetically: \[ 4 \times 0.2 = 0.8\ \text{mm}. \] This accumulation is the central drawback of chain dimensioning, and it grows with every link added.
