A500B Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 4" x 2" x 0.188"
This 4" x 2" x 0.188" wall Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube is a structural grade product conforming to ASTM A500 Grade B. It provides a robust 58,000 PSI tensile strength and excellent weldability, making it ideal for trailer frames and structural supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Manufactured through a hot rolling process, A500 Grade B steel tubing offers a cost-effective solution for structural applications. This process results in excellent forming and welding characteristics, though with a scaled surface finish. It meets the ASTM A500 standard for structural tubing, providing a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI, ensuring reliability in load-bearing assemblies and compression-resistant designs.
As a large-profile tube, this 4" x 2" section is engineered for heavy-duty applications. Its dimensions provide superior resistance to bending and torsional stress, making it ideal for building frames, heavy equipment bases, trailer main frames, and industrial support columns requiring significant structural integrity.
