A500 Grade B Steel Rectangular Tube - 6" x 2" x 0.188"
This 6" x 2" steel rectangular tube features a 0.188" wall and is manufactured from A500 Grade B hot rolled steel. It conforms to ASTM A500 for structural applications, delivering 58,000 PSI tensile strength and excellent weldability for robust fabrication projects. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A500 Grade B is a structural grade carbon steel used for welded hollow structural sections (HSS). The hot rolling process results in excellent forming and welding characteristics but leaves a rough, scaled surface. With a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI, this material provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it a foundational component for load-bearing structures.
As a large-profile tube, the 6" x 2" dimension offers significant resistance to bending and torsion. It is commonly used for heavy structural frames, trailer beds, support columns for mezzanines, and machine bases where strength and rigidity are critical requirements for performance and safety.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled finish, characterized by a dark, rough mill scale. This scale 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 finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Rectangular tube is measured by its outer dimensions (Width 'A' and Height 'B') and its wall thickness. Use a tape measure for dimensions and calipers for an accurate wall measurement.
Example: To order this tube, specify "Steel Rectangular Tube, 6" x 2" x 0.188" Wall".
