Hot Rolled A500 Grade B square tube is a carbon steel structural product with a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI. Formed at high temperatures, it has a dark, scaled surface finish and slightly rounded corners. This manufacturing process makes it a cost-effective choice for structural applications where precise tolerances are secondary to strength. Its excellent weldability makes it easy to fabricate into rigid, durable structures.

The 2" square profile is a medium-sized structural tube, ideal for fabricating equipment frames, trailer tongues, roll cages, and structural supports where a balance of strength, weight, and dimensional stability is critical. Its robust 0.188" wall thickness ensures rigidity for moderate load-bearing structures.

Specifications

  • Material: A500 Grade B Carbon Steel
  • Standards: ASTM A500
  • Strength/Tensile: 58,000 PSI
