ASTM A500B Tube

ASTM A500 standard covers cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel structural tubing of round, square, rectangular, or special shape. The A500B tube is a popular choice for common construction applications because of its strength, durability and economy.

A500B pipe has a minimum yield strength of 46,000 psi (or 315 MPa) and a minimum tensile strength of 58,000 psi (or 400 MPa) and is intended primarily for general structural purposes such as columns, beams, and other load-bearing applications.

Specifications of A500B Steel Pipe:

Grade: ASTM A500 Grade B

Shape: round, square, rectangular

Applications: frames, roll cages, truck frames, trailers, railings, etc.

Machinability: Easy to weld, cut, form and machine

Properties: Brinell Hardness = 63, Tensile Strength = 58,000 +/-, Yield Strength = 46,000 +/-

A500 B Steel Chemical Properties:

Advantages of A500B Steel Pipe:

- Structural Strength: Designed for structural applications, providing high strength and load-bearing capacity, more suitable for heavy construction projects.

- Dimensional Accuracy: With tighter dimensional tolerances, it facilitates better fit and alignment during construction.

- Uniformity: Manufactured to exacting standards ensuring consistent mechanical properties throughout the pipe for predictable performance and reliable structural integrity.

- Weldability: Can be easily soldered using common soldering techniques, simplifying the assembly process and allowing efficient builds.

- Availability: Available in a variety of sizes, grades and lengths.
