ASTM A500 grade C equivalent

ASTM A500 is the standard specification for cold-formed, welded, and seamless carbon steel structural tubing. Among its grades, ASTM A500 Grade C requires a minimum yield strength and tensile strength of 317 MPa, making it the strongest option in terms of tensile performance within this standard.

Equivalent materials to ASTM A500 Grade C are recognized in various international standards due to their comparable mechanical properties and chemical compositions for structural tubing applications:

EN 10219 S355J2H (European Union):

Widely used in Europe, offering similar strength and toughness for structural steel tubes.

CSA G40.21 44W (Canada):

The Canadian equivalent designed for structural purposes with matching performance characteristics.

DIN 2393 St52.3 (Germany):

The German standard providing equivalent strength and reliability for structural steel tubing.

Additional Considerations
Other ASTM specifications may also serve as alternatives in certain applications. For example, ASTM A1011 HSLAS Grade 50 provides high yield strength and can be considered a substitute in some structural contexts.
