- A500 Grade B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
A500 Grade B is a structural specification for cold-formed welded carbon steel tubing. The hot rolling process produces a material with excellent forming characteristics and weldability at a cost-effective price point. This tubing has a dark, scaled mill finish characteristic of hot rolled products and offers a good combination of strength, ductility, and load-bearing capacity for a wide range of applications.
As a medium-sized structural section, this 3" x 1-1/2" tube is ideal for applications requiring good resistance to bending and torsional stress. Common uses include equipment frames, trailer frames and cross-members, structural supports for buildings, and heavy-duty industrial shelving where robust performance is essential.
