Steel is composed of mainly iron and carbon with smaller amounts of other elements that makeup the minority of the material structure. Rectangular Structural Steel Tubing Material Properties Other types of specific applications include the following: For these reasons, these materials are used extensively in construction, manufacturing, in machine part manufacturing, and even in art. Since they are strong, relatively light and easy to weld, Square and Rectangular steel tubes are one of the most widely used materials for numerous types of applications. Depending on your project needs, we can provide you with steel rectangular tubing that will allow you to complete your job on time and on budget.

M & K Metals is a leading provider of ASTM A500 verified rectangular structural steel tubing in a wide range of dimensional sizes. We also stock numerous Square Steel Tubing sizes, ASTM A500 Grade A within this spec is reserved for non-structural parts. If, however, you see the ASTM A500 designation on a print without a corresponding grade, please ask your engineer for additional clarification, since the minimum tensile strength of Grade C is higher than that of Grade B. Essentially, this means that the manufactured product is a square or rectangular steel tube that meets the structural specifications of ASTM A500 Grade B or C. It is worth noting that some of the structural steel items may contain the abbreviation “HSS,” which stands for Hollow Structural Section. A 10.6 radius of corners is also preserved so the corner section of the rectangular steel tubing does not exceed the set parameter of specified wall thickness. This type of quality control allows for a consistently well-maintained product that is strong and can resist stress from all directions, while being able to easily connect to other structural shapes. Rectangular Steel Tubing Properties & DimensionsĪSTM A500 verified rectangular steel tubing maintains established, clearly defined seams that are not located anywhere within the curvature of the tube. Some other beneficial qualities of rectangular steel tubing, include: Steel rectangular tubing also provides outstanding support and compression features, which allow this shape of steel to be used for a wide range of column applications. Rectangular steel tubing provides great strength-to-weight ratios, which means that less steel by weight is required to accomplish the job.
