A500B Steel Square Tube - 6" x 6" x 0.188"
This 6" x 6" Hot Rolled Steel Square Tube features a 0.188" wall and meets ASTM A500 Grade B specifications. With a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI and excellent weldability, it is a cost-effective choice for heavy structural applications. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot rolled square tube is formed from steel processed at high temperatures, resulting in a product with a scaled surface and slightly rounded corners. This cost-effective manufacturing process ensures compliance with ASTM A500 Grade B, providing high strength-to-weight for structural applications. Known as HSS (Hollow Structural Section), it offers excellent weldability and durability for fabricated assemblies where precise finish is not required.
As a large-profile tube, this 6-inch square section is engineered for heavy-duty load-bearing roles. Common applications include main structural supports in buildings, heavy equipment frames, industrial support columns, large trailer frames, and other robust fabrication projects requiring maximum rigidity and strength.

Target Users
Fabricators, structural engineers, and heavy equipment manufacturers rely on A500B Square Tube for robust and reliable structural integrity in construction and industrial projects throughout the Los Angeles area.
Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled finish, characterized by a dark, scaly surface. For applications requiring paint or powder coating, the mill scale must be removed by grinding or sandblasting for 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), wall thickness, and overall length. For square tubing, the Width and Height are the same.
Example: To order this tube, specify "Hot Rolled Square Tube, 6" x 6" x 0.188" wall x 20 ft length".
