- A500B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Grade B Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot Rolled A500 Grade B rectangular tubing is a structural carbon steel product with a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI. Produced through a hot rolling process, it has excellent welding and forming characteristics, making it easy to fabricate. Its combination of strength, cost-effectiveness, and weldability makes it a primary choice for load-bearing frames and supports in construction and manufacturing.
As a medium-sized profile, this 2" x 1/2" tube provides significant resistance to bending along its taller axis. It is ideal for fabricating equipment frames, trailer tongues and cross-members, support posts, and structural bracing where moderate load-bearing capacity is required.
