Hello all,
What is the correct way to use a thread plug gage to inspect the depth of a threaded hole? One of my guys thinks you should check to the end of the plug gage because the truncated thread is basically replicating the same engagement length you would get with a threaded part with a chamfer on it. My inspector always puts the gage on the comparator to check the length of the plug gage from the start of the truncated thread. His reasoning is that the print calls for example ".88 min full thread" so you have to inspect from the start of a full thread. I can see both arguments as being reasonable but I was hoping for some guidance.
Thanks for any input you can offer. -Dan
