- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
A500 Grade B Hot Rolled Square Tube is a structural-grade steel formed at elevated temperatures, resulting in a product with slightly rounded corners and a dark, scaly mill finish. This manufacturing process makes it an economical choice for applications where strength and weldability are more critical than dimensional precision or surface appearance. Its high strength-to-weight ratio makes it a staple for load-bearing structures.
As a medium-sized profile, the 1-1/2" dimension is highly versatile. It provides a balance of strength and moderate weight, making it a preferred material for equipment frames, trailer tongues, roll cages, gate frames, and structural supports in both commercial construction and general fabrication projects where robust performance is essential.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled (mill) finish, characterized by a dark, scaly surface. This surface must be cleaned by grinding, sandblasting, or chemical treatment before painting to ensure proper adhesion. For corrosion protection, the cleaned tube can be painted, powder-coated, or galvanized. 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 width and height, and a caliper or wall thickness gauge for precision.
Example: To order this tube, specify "Hot Rolled Square Tube, 1-1/2 inch by 1-1/2 inch, with a 0.065 inch wall".
