Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 3 Inch X 2 Inch X 0.188
This 3" x 2" x 0.188" wall hot rolled steel rectangular tube is a structural grade product conforming to ASTM A500 Grade B. It provides an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and outstanding weldability, making it a foundational material for construction and industrial fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot Rolled A500 Grade B Rectangular Tube is a structural Hollow Structural Section (HSS) with a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI. The hot rolling process results in excellent forming and welding characteristics, though with a rough, scaled surface finish. Its rectangular shape provides high torsional strength and compression resistance, making it superior to angles or channels in applications subject to twisting forces.
As a medium-sized tube, this 3" x 2" dimension is highly versatile. It is a primary choice for trailer frames, industrial equipment bases, structural supports in commercial buildings, and heavy-duty gate frames where a balance of strength, weight, and cost is essential.
