- A500B Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Grade B Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled rectangular steel tubing is a structural grade product manufactured to the ASTM A500 Grade B specification. The hot rolling process results in excellent forming and welding characteristics with a scaled surface finish. Its combination of strength, cost-effectiveness, and load-bearing capacity makes it a foundational material for construction, fabrication, and industrial manufacturing.
As a large-profile tube, this 5" x 2" section provides exceptional resistance to bending and torsional stress. It is ideal for heavy-duty structural columns, large equipment frames, trailer main beams, and industrial supports where maximum load-bearing capacity is required.
