This 8" x 2" hot rolled rectangular steel tube offers superior structural integrity for load-bearing applications. Manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B, it provides 46,000 PSI yield strength with excellent weldability, making it a reliable choice for heavy frames and supports. In stock Los Angeles.
- A500 Grade B Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
Hot rolled A500 Grade B rectangular tubing is a structural grade material known for its high strength-to-weight ratio and cost-effectiveness. The hot rolling process results in a product with excellent forming and welding characteristics, suitable for fabrication without extensive pre-treatment. Its rectangular shape provides high torsional strength and compression resistance, making it superior to open profiles like angles or channels in applications subject to twisting forces.
As a large-profile tube, this 8" x 2" section is engineered for heavy-duty structural applications. Its dimensions are ideal for main support columns in buildings, heavy trailer frames and cross-members, industrial equipment bases, and large-scale architectural framework where significant load-bearing capacity is required.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a dark, scaled surface. This surface must be removed by grinding, sandblasting, or pickling before painting or powder coating. For outdoor applications, a protective coating is required to prevent rust. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Rectangular tube is measured by its Width (A), Height (B), and Wall Thickness (C). The larger outer dimension is the width, the smaller is the height.
Example: To order this tube, specify "Rectangular Tube, 8 inches by 2 inches by 0.120 inch wall".
