Hot Rolled Round Tubing is formed from steel rolled at high temperatures, resulting in a cost-effective product with a rough, scaled surface finish. This material, typically conforming to ASTM A500 Grade B, is engineered for welded, riveted, or bolted construction in structural applications. It combines a 46,000 PSI minimum yield strength with excellent weldability, making it a reliable choice where durability is critical.
As a medium-diameter tube, this 1" OD profile is perfectly suited for structural applications requiring a balance of strength and maneuverability. Common uses include handrails, protective barriers, industrial equipment frames, and automotive roll cages where its strength-to-weight ratio is a key advantage.
