A500B Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 6" x 2" x 0.250"
This 6" x 2" rectangular tube is a structural grade hot rolled steel product with a 0.250" wall. Manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B specifications, it provides robust performance for load-bearing applications like trailer frames, building supports, and industrial racks. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Grade B Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot rolled rectangular steel tubing is a structural grade product 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, cost-effectiveness, and 46,000 PSI yield strength makes it a foundational material for construction and industrial fabrication.
As a large-profile tube, this 6" x 2" size offers superior resistance to bending and torsional stress. It is frequently used for heavy structural applications, building frames, main trailer supports, industrial equipment bases, and heavy-duty columns where load-bearing capacity is critical.
