Here is the senario. Part is a thin walled, round, hollow part -- say .015 thick. Part is made to a specified dia. indicated on print. Parts submitted (by party A) for approval and are rejected (by party B) due to undersized dia. Part is being measured by both parties in a fixture holding your standard micrometer. Party A is a 30+ year experienced toolmaker with a real fine measuring touch. Party B doesn't appear to have a lot of experence -- he "rachets down" on the mic. causing the part to flex resulting in the undersized dia. ( a difference of .001-.002).
Party A says parts are good and that some "touch" is required so as not to flex the part and doesn't feel it is appropriate to influence the part during the check.
Party B says parts are no good and doesn't want any touch -- the "rachet down" will take the touch away even though it flexes the part during the check.
Parties are at a stand off. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
