- A500B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
Hot rolled rectangular tubing is a structural 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 58,000 PSI tensile strength makes it a foundational material for construction, fabrication, and industrial manufacturing projects requiring robust performance.
As a large profile tube, this 6" x 3" dimension offers high torsional strength and compression resistance. It is ideal for heavy structural applications, building frames, trailer beds, large equipment bases, and support columns where significant load-bearing capacity is required.
