This 2.5" x 1.5" rectangular steel tube, manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B, is a versatile structural material with a 0.065" wall. It combines a 58,000 PSI tensile strength with excellent formability and weldability, making it a reliable choice for frames, supports, and trailers. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Grade B Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability and Formability
Hot rolled to the ASTM A500 Grade B specification, this rectangular steel tube is a structural grade product known for its strength and versatility. The hot rolling process results in excellent forming and welding characteristics, though with a dark, scaled surface finish. It provides a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI, making it a cost-effective solution for load-bearing applications.
With its 2.5" x 1.5" medium-sized profile, this tube is perfectly suited for structural framing, equipment bases, trailer cross-members, and heavy-duty handrails. The rectangular shape offers superior resistance to bending forces along its taller axis, providing enhanced stability for structural assemblies.
