Hot Rolled Steel Rectangular Tube - 6 Inch X 4 Inch X 0.188
This 6" x 4" x 0.188" hot rolled rectangular steel tube is a versatile structural section conforming to ASTM A500 Grade B. It combines 58,000 PSI tensile strength with excellent weldability and formability, making it a foundational material for fabrication and construction projects. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
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 high strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for load-bearing applications in construction and industrial manufacturing.
As a large profile tube, the 6" x 4" dimension provides significant resistance to bending and torsional stress. It is frequently used for heavy structural applications, building frames, main trailer supports, heavy equipment bases, and large industrial support columns where maximum load capacity is critical.
