A 3" OD x 0.065" wall Hot Rolled Steel Round Tube, manufactured to ASTM A500 Grade B standards for structural applications. It provides a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI and excellent weldability, making it ideal for frames, supports, and trailer construction. In stock Los Angeles.
- Hot Rolled Steel Construction
- ASTM A500-B Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability
This Hot Rolled Steel Round Tube is formed from steel rolled at high temperatures, resulting in a cost-effective product with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Conforming to ASTM A500 Grade B, it is specifically designed for welded or bolted structural use, delivering durability and reliability in load-bearing roles. The material's composition ensures it is easily weldable using all common processes without requiring preheating.
As a medium-sized tube, the 3" diameter is versatile and robust, making it a primary material for handrails, industrial equipment frames, automotive roll cages, and scaffolding. Its balance of size and strength is ideal for applications requiring significant structural integrity without the weight of solid bar stock.

For corrosion protection, especially in outdoor applications, the surface must be properly prepared by removing scale before painting, powder-coating, or galvanizing. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Round tube is measured by its Outside Diameter (OD) and its Wall Thickness. Use calipers to accurately measure both dimensions.
Example: To order this tube, specify "Hot Rolled Round Tube, 3 inch OD by 0.065 inch wall".
