A 3" x 2" x 0.065" wall Hot Rolled Rectangular Steel Tube manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B specifications. This structural grade tubing offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent weldability, and 58,000 PSI tensile strength, making it ideal for frames and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Grade B Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability for Fabrication
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, weldability, and cost-effectiveness makes it a foundational material for construction and industrial manufacturing projects.
As a medium-sized section, this 3" x 2" tube provides robust performance for building frames, trailer beds, support columns, and machine bases where a balance of strength and moderate weight is required. The rectangular shape offers superior resistance to bending forces when loaded against its taller axis.
