Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 5 Inch X 3 Inch X 0.25
This 5" x 3" x 0.250" hot rolled rectangular steel tube is a structural grade product manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio, 58,000 PSI tensile strength, and excellent weldability for load-bearing applications like trailer frames and building supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Grade B Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled rectangular tubing is manufactured to the ASTM A500 Grade B structural specification. The hot rolling process provides excellent forming and welding characteristics but leaves a rougher, scaled surface finish. Its combination of strength (46,000 PSI yield), weldability, and cost-effectiveness makes it a key material for construction, fabrication, and industrial manufacturing requiring robust performance and high load-bearing capacity.
As a large rectangular tube, this 5" x 3" size provides high torsional strength and compression resistance. It is commonly used for heavy structural applications such as building frames, trailer main rails, support columns, and the bases for heavy industrial machinery, where maximum stiffness is critical.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a dark, rougher surface with mill scale. This scale must be removed by grinding or sandblasting before painting or powder coating for proper adhesion. For specific project requirements, other finishes such as pickled and oiled may be available via special order. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Rectangular tubing is measured by its Width (A), its Height (B), and its Wall Thickness (C). Use calipers or a tape measure for accuracy.
Example: To order this rectangular tube, specify "Hot Rolled Rectangular Tube, 5 inch x 3 inch x 0.250 inch wall".
