- A500 Grade B Steel Construction
- ASTM A500 Certified
- 58,000 PSI Tensile Strength
- Excellent Weldability for Fabrication
Hot Rolled Square Tube is formed from steel processed at high temperatures, resulting in a cost-effective product with excellent formability and weldability. Conforming to ASTM A500 Grade B, this material provides a minimum yield strength of 46,000 PSI, making it a reliable choice for load-bearing applications. Often called Hollow Structural Section (HSS), it provides a high strength-to-weight ratio for rigid, lightweight structures.
As a medium-sized profile, this 1-1/2" square tube is a versatile solution for equipment frames, automotive roll cages, trailer frames, and structural handrails. Its dimensions provide a balance of strength and workability, making it suitable for both heavy-duty supports and general fabrication projects where robust performance is required.
