This 3" x 2" rectangular tube with a 0.250" wall is a structural grade, hot rolled steel product. Manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B specifications, it provides 58,000 PSI tensile strength, excellent weldability, and high torsional resistance for load-bearing applications. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot rolled rectangular steel tubing is a cost-effective structural material produced to the ASTM A500 Grade B standard. The hot rolling process provides good dimensional tolerances for structural work, excellent forming characteristics, and superior weldability. With a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI, this hollow structural section (HSS) is designed for reliable performance in load-bearing assemblies.
The 3" x 2" profile with a heavy 0.250" wall is a versatile medium-sized tube. It is frequently used for trailer frames and cross-members, equipment bases, roll cages, structural supports, and heavy-duty gate frames where strength against bending and twisting is critical.
