Is the acceptance of a prevailing-torque or elliptical offset (top-lock) Nut using a GO gage determined by the GO gage engaging only a single full turn of the Nut, and not significantly more just as a GO gage would have to go all the way through for a conventional (non-lock) Nut?
My 9/16-18 UNF-3B Hex Flange Nut's supplier's contention is that this Nut (with a total of ten to eleven threads) would only have to accommodate the GO gage by only a single full turn at the thread start end opposite the deformed top end to be acceptable, somehow allowing thread deformation for the locking portion to take up, what I believe to be limited to about only three, practically the entire thread length except for one just to start the thread--negating the class 3 fit specification.
Thanks!
