A500B Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 4" x 2" x 0.250"
This 4" x 2" rectangular steel tube with a heavy 0.250" wall is a structural grade product conforming to ASTM A500 Grade B. It features a minimum 58,000 PSI tensile strength, excellent weldability, and high torsional resistance for demanding applications. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
A500B hot rolled rectangular tubing is a foundational material for structural fabrication, manufactured by forming and welding flat-rolled steel. The hot rolling process ensures excellent forming characteristics and weldability, though it results in a rougher, scaled surface finish. Its combination of strength, cost-effectiveness, and ease of fabrication makes it ideal for projects requiring robust, load-bearing performance and compression resistance.
As a large-profile tube, this 4" x 2" x 0.250" size is specified for heavy structural applications. It serves as a primary component in building frames, industrial equipment bases, heavy-duty trailer main frames, and support columns where significant load capacity and resistance to bending and torsional forces are critical.

- Certifications: MTR Available Upon Request
Applications
- Construction: Heavy structural supports, building frames, and trusses - high strength-to-weight ratio for significant loads.
- Trailers & Automotive: Main trailer frames, tongues, and heavy cross-members - resists bending and torsional stress under load.
- Industrial Machinery: Heavy machine bases, support frames, and conveyor systems - excellent load-bearing and vibration-dampening capacity.
- Racking & Storage: Heavy-duty warehouse racking uprights and support beams - resists compression and buckling.
Target Users
Fabricators, welders, construction contractors, and trailer manufacturers rely on A500B rectangular tube for its structural integrity and reliability in projects throughout the Los Angeles area.
Finish Options
This product comes standard with a dark mill scale finish characteristic of hot rolled steel. This surface must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or pickling before painting or powder coating. For outdoor use, a protective coating is required to prevent rust. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finishing inquiries.
How to Measure
Rectangular tube is measured by its external dimensions: Width (A), Height (B), and Wall Thickness (C). Use calipers for an accurate measurement of the wall.
Example: To order this rectangular tube, specify "Hot Rolled Rectangular Tube, 4 inch by 2 inch with a 0.250 inch wall".
