A500B Hot Rolled Steel Square Tube - 3-1/2" x 0.250" x 20'
This 3-1/2" x 0.250" Hot Rolled Steel Square Tube is a versatile structural section manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B standards. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio with 46,000 PSI yield strength, excellent formability, and superior weldability for reliable fabrication. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled steel square tube, often called HSS (Hollow Structural Section), is formed to ASTM A500 Grade B specifications. This process gives it a dark, scaled mill finish and slightly rounded corners. Its carbon steel composition ensures a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI, providing robust performance for load-bearing applications while remaining easy to cut, drill, and weld.
As a large-profile tube, this 3-1/2" square section is perfectly suited for constructing heavy-duty frames, structural columns, trailer mainframes, and industrial equipment bases where significant load-bearing capacity and rigidity are critical project requirements. It must be painted or coated for outdoor use.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled finish, characterized by a dark, scaly surface known as mill scale. For painting or coating, this scale must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or chemical cleaning to ensure proper adhesion. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Square tube is measured by its outer dimensions (Width x Height) and its wall thickness. Use calipers or a tape measure for the outer sides and a thickness gauge for the wall.
Example: To order this square tube, specify "A500B Square Tube, 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" x 0.250" Wall".
