Trailer Wall Thickness
Trailer Wall Thickness
(OP)
We built a trailer. The system description says 1/2" thick walls. But, the raw material callout is 3/16". What's the best way to find out what thickness we actually used for the walls?

Maybe someone was paying attention.
Maybe someone can figure out what 'we' bought.

Frankly it felt like fraud. The contract was to build a trailer just like the test unit, but there was no way to confirm the condition of the test trailer.
There were a ton of ad hoc, unrecorded decisions made by those guys. My peak irritation was in meetings with the originating design team, the manufacturing guy had the nerve to blame them for not documenting the ad hoc changes. OTOH the originating design team tapped into the ABS system power by scraping the insulation and wrapping tap wires with electrical tape to power an accessory, so the incompetence was shared.
It's no longer my problem. The place went from engineers to MBAs.

Measure the outside overall width and measure the interior width, take the difference and divide by 2?
