A500B Hot Rolled Steel Square Tube - 3" x 3" x 0.120" x 20'
This 3" x 3" A500B steel square tube features a 0.120" wall and is manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B standards. It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio with a 46,000 PSI minimum yield strength and excellent weldability, making it ideal for structural applications. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled square tube is formed from steel processed at high temperatures, resulting in a scaled surface and slightly rounded corners. This cost-effective method makes it the standard choice for structural applications where precise tolerances are not the primary requirement. Its composition provides a durable material with good formability and excellent weldability, making it easy to fabricate into complex structures.
As a medium-sized 3" tube, this material is perfectly suited for building robust equipment frames, automotive roll cages, support structures for machinery, and heavy-duty handrails where structural integrity and load-bearing capacity are critical. It is often referred to as a Hollow Structural Section (HSS).
