Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 3 Inch X 1 Inch X 0.083
This 3" x 1" hot rolled rectangular steel tube is a structural grade product manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B. Featuring a 0.083" wall thickness, it provides excellent load-bearing capacity, weldability, and torsional strength for fabrication projects requiring robust performance. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Grade B Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot rolled rectangular steel tubing is a structural grade product manufactured to the ASTM A500 Grade B specification. The hot rolling process results in a material with excellent forming and welding characteristics, though with a rougher, scaled surface finish. Its combination of strength, cost-effectiveness, and 46,000 PSI yield strength makes it a foundational material for construction and fabrication.
As a medium-sized structural section, this 3" x 1" tube is commonly used for trailer frames and cross-members, industrial equipment bases, building trusses, and heavy-duty shelving supports where its resistance to bending and torsional stress is critical for project integrity.
