Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 3" x 1" x 0.120" Wall
This 3" x 1" rectangular steel tube features a 0.120" wall and is manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B standards. It offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, superior weldability, and robust performance for structural and load-bearing applications like trailer frames and machine supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube is a structural grade product manufactured to the ASTM A500 Grade B specification, ensuring reliable mechanical properties. The hot rolling process results in a material with excellent forming and welding characteristics. Its hollow structural section (HSS) design provides high torsional strength and compression resistance, making it superior to open profiles like angles or channels in applications subject to twisting forces.
As a medium-sized profile, this 3" x 1" tube is a versatile choice for equipment frames, machinery bases, trailer cross-members, and heavy-duty gate frames. Its dimensions provide greater resistance to bending when the load is applied against the taller 3" side, making it highly efficient for structural supports where directional strength is critical.
Specifications
- Material: A500 Grade B Hot Rolled Steel
- Standards: ASTM A500
- Strength/Tensile: 58,000 PSI (min)
- Dimensions: 3" Width x 1" Height x 0.120" Wall x 240" Length
- Finish: Hot Rolled (Mill Scale)
- Certifications: Mill Test Report (MTR) Available Upon Request
Applications
- Trailers & Automotive: Trailer frames, tongues, and cross-members - Resists bending and torsional stress under load.
- Industrial Machinery: Machine bases, support frames, and guards - Excellent load-bearing capacity and rigidity.
- Fencing & Enclosures: Gate frames and security barriers - Durable and strong profile resists sagging and impact.
- Racking & Storage: Heavy-duty shelving supports and warehouse racking systems - High compression strength for vertical loads.
Target Users
Fabricators, welders, manufacturers, and construction professionals rely on A500B rectangular tube for its structural integrity and ease of use in projects throughout the Los Angeles area.
Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a dark, rougher surface scale. This scale must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or chemical pickling before painting or powder coating to ensure proper adhesion. For indoor applications where corrosion is not a concern, it can be used as-is.
How to Measure
Rectangular tube is measured by its Outer Width (A), Outer Height (B), and Wall Thickness (C). Ensure you measure the two perpendicular outside faces and the thickness of the wall.
Example: To order this tube, specify "Steel Rectangular Tube, 3 inches by 1 inch with a 0.120 inch wall".
