A500 Grade B Steel Square Tube - 5" x 0.188" x 240"
This 5" x 5" hot rolled steel square tube with a 0.188" wall is manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B specifications. It provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, with 46,000 PSI minimum yield strength, making it ideal for structural applications like building frames and equipment bases. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled square tube, often called HSS (Hollow Structural Section), is formed to ASTM A500 Grade B standards. The hot rolling process results in a cost-effective product with a scaled surface finish and excellent weldability. Its composition provides a durable, formable material with a high strength-to-weight ratio, essential for building rigid yet lightweight structures that do not require precise finishing.
As a large-format tube, this 5" profile is specified for heavy-duty structural applications. It is commonly used for building columns, industrial equipment frames, heavy-duty trailer construction, and primary supports where significant load-bearing capacity and rigidity are critical project requirements.
