Product Introduction

A500 Gr.B TUBE

ASTM A500 Pipes are square structural steel pipes that double the typical wall thickness, available in various standard specifications and with multiple grade options.The A500 Gr.B Square Steel Pipes boast a wide range of sizes, ranging from 8x8mm to 800x800mm. The pipes have varying wall thickness, from a slim 1mm to a sturdy 40mm. These pipes come in a standard length of 6-12m, with the added convenience of custom cut-to-length sizes available. Square Tube offers a wide range of options to suit various needs, including seamless, welded, fabricated, and electric resistance welded variations. Various surface finishes are available for the pipes, including shot blasting, black phosphating, black, oil, paint, mirror, galvanized, hairline, or anti-corrosive paint. The ASTM A500 Grade.B Rectangular Tube is available in various material grades, including ASTM A500, ss400, c25o, and others. These tubes are highly sought after in the construction industry for their ability to form structural frameworks. The ASME SA500 SHS Tubing’s thick wall design provides added strength, making it an ideal choice for construction applications that require structural support.

A500 steel boasts a variety of desirable properties, including its weldability and machinability, cold working capabilities, and attractive visual appeal. Although shared similarity in popularity and use with A53 grade steel, A500 steel is highly coveted for its superior qualities such as increased yield strength, heightened corrosion resistance, and an impressive strength-to-weight ratio. Consequently, it comes at a higher cost.

While A500 steel shares similar chemical and structural properties to A36 steel, their primary differentiation lies in their intended purposes and applications. Though both are hot rolled steel, A36 has many shapes and types, including rectangular bar, round bar, round tube, square bar, angle, channel, plate, tread plate, and shafting. A500 on the other hand is just used for metal pipes and tubes albeit these can be round, square, or rectangular.

Due to its exceptional strength, A500 steel is particularly well-suited for structural endeavors like constructing pipes, tanks, boilers, and heavy-duty machinery. One of the drawbacks of this metal is its limited ability to withstand high temperatures, as it can shatter instead of taking on a desired form.
