A500B Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 3" x 2" x 0.120" x 20'
This 3" x 2" x 0.120" wall rectangular tube is a structural grade, hot rolled steel product meeting ASTM A500 Grade B standards. It offers a 58,000 PSI tensile strength and excellent weldability, making it a primary choice for durable frames and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot rolled rectangular steel tubing is manufactured to the ASTM A500 Grade B specification for hollow structural sections (HSS). The hot rolling process produces a material with excellent forming and welding characteristics and a high strength-to-weight ratio. This combination of structural integrity, durability, and cost-effectiveness makes it a foundational material for construction, fabrication, and industrial manufacturing projects requiring robust load-bearing performance.
As a large profile tube, this 3" x 2" size provides significant resistance to bending and torsional stress, particularly when loaded against its taller side. It is ideal for heavy frames, industrial supports, trailer beds, and structural columns where strength and rigidity are critical design requirements.
