- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled A500 Grade B square tube is formed from steel processed at high temperatures, resulting in a cost-effective product with a dark, scaled surface. Conforming to ASTM A500, it provides a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI and excellent weldability, making it easy to fabricate. Often called HSS (Hollow Structural Section), it delivers a high strength-to-weight ratio for rigid yet lightweight structures.
As a medium-sized 2-inch tube, it offers a great balance of strength, weight, and versatility. It is commonly used for constructing handrails, durable equipment frames, automotive roll cages, trailer tongues, and other support structures where reliable, welded connections and load-bearing capacity are crucial.
