Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 5 Inch X 2 Inch X 0.120
This 5" x 2" x 0.120" wall Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube is a structural grade product manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B. It combines a high strength-to-weight ratio with excellent weldability, ideal for load-bearing applications like frames, supports, and trailers. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot Rolled Rectangular Tube is a structural grade steel manufactured to the ASTM A500 Grade B specification. The hot rolling process results in a material with excellent forming and welding characteristics, though with a rougher, scaled surface finish. Its combination of strength, weldability, and cost-effectiveness makes it a foundational material for construction, fabrication, and industrial manufacturing projects requiring robust performance and load-bearing capacity.
As a large profile tube, this 5" x 2" size provides high torsional strength and compression resistance, making it superior for applications subject to heavy loads or twisting forces. It is commonly used for building frames, heavy-duty trailer beds, support columns, and industrial machine bases where structural integrity is critical.
