I would like to attach some kind of pivoting hinge onto a 1/2" – 3/4" metal pipe (e.g. galvanized or cast-iron):
Something almost like this but instead of bolting onto a flat surface, it clamps onto a pipe.
Suggestions or helpful things to google are all welcome
It looks like a lockring is used to hold the screw in place. You'll have to hold the screw still and rotate the lockring, or vise versa.
Using a flat-head screw driver and mallet, is a common way to rotate lockrings. Though, you'll have to find a way to hold the screw steady, while you bang the lockring free.
It's possible that the lockring is made of some type of softer metal, so grabbing it with pliers could easily damage it. Using a screwdriver and mallet applies force only in a useful direction, whereas pliers apply non-useful forces required for gripping. These non-useful forces may damage the lockring.
It's a cleanout for the sewer line. You can shorten it to grade level, but you cannot remove or pave over it.
You'll probably never need it, but if you do, you'll want quick access to it.

I'm interpreting the question as: I'd like to clamp on some hardware to a pipe which would allow me to attach and rotate another pipe on the same plane as the original pipe.
If you already have the part in your post and you want to figure out a way to make it fit, you can use that part along with two u-bolts, just position the u-bolts at the width of the bolt holes.
Your other option would be to buy some purpose built hardware from the local industrial supply. Here's a page that has some hardware that I think will spark your interest: https://www.zoro.com/modular-pipe-and-rail-fittings/c/5624/
Good luck on your project!
