Need help with NASM-33537 spec.
(OP)
Hopefully this is the right place, if not please move to correct location.
Section 4.1 example 1 gives the below for an example.
3125.24 UNF-38 HELICAL COIL
INSERT THD THRU PER NASM33537 INSTALL
INSERT ,75-T,5 TURNS BELOW SURFACE
REMOVE TANG - (NOT REQUIRED WITH
TANGLESS INSERTS)
One of my customers uses the exact same callout on a print with exception to thread size (print calls for a .190-32). The thickness on the features to be threaded vary by 1/4". It is my understanding that I only need to drill thru and only tap deep enough to meet the minimum full thread depth for the particular length of insert. I am correct? Our new quality manager says I am wrong and that threads need to go thru because of the "Helical Coil Insert THD thru" in the callout.
Now a little history, we have made hundreds of these parts to my interpretation. The most recent was 150 parts in Feb. of 2016. Our customer has never rejected any parts because of the thread depth and I'm sure if Raytheon (not our customer but the end user of these parts) found a problem we'd have heard about it by now. I'm a believer in "If the customer doesn't reject it, it's a good part" moto.
Can anybody shed a little light on this for me?
Thanks.
