What is the thickness of a pipe clamp?
(OP)
Yes, it sounds like a crazy question. I'm reviewing a shop drawing for mounting a chain link fence to a concrete bridge parapet. The DOT standard is 2 - 3" wide x 1/4" thick pipe clamps per post. The fence supplier is proposing 3/16" thick clamps. I thought perhaps there's no availability of the 1/4" clamp.
In looking through several pipe support catalogs, MSS-SP58, and various ASTM F-series specs related to fencing none indicates the thickness of the clamps. I can calculate the adequacy of the connection but I'm just curious why no one gives the thickness.

I wouldn't think that 3" x 3/16" would survive one winter of road salt, never mind being smacked by a car.
