Hot rolled rectangular steel tubing is a structural grade product manufactured by forming and welding flat-rolled steel. The ASTM A500 Grade B specification ensures a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI, making it suitable for load-bearing applications. The hot rolling process results in a material with excellent forming characteristics and a scaled, dark grey finish.
As a medium-sized structural section, this 3” x 1-1/2” tube is commonly used for equipment frames, trailer tongues and cross-members, structural supports, and heavy-duty shelving where its rectangular profile provides superior resistance to bending and torsional forces along its major axis.
