Geometric tolerances are increasingly being used in many fields as it enables tolerances to be placed on attributes of feature, where a feature is one or more pieces of a part surface. However, geometric deviations provide sources of variation that can accumulate and propagate through an assembly the same way as size tolerances. A dimensional chain is a set of independent parallel dimensions which continue each other to create a geometrically closed circuit. They can be dimensions specifying the many positions of components on one part or dimensions of several parts in an assembly unit 5.2
