ASTM A500 Grade B
TUSPIPE’s ASTM A500 Grade B tubes are certified for enhanced strength and stable mechanical performance. Every product delivers dependable structural support for industrial and construction use.
ASTM A500 Grade B
The ASTM A500 is a steel standard that covers cold-formed welded and seamless steel structural tubing in rounds and shapes. Grade B in the ASTM A500 standard is a steel grade that is used in construction, and it has a wide range of uses.
ASTM A500 Grade B vs Grade C, it has a lower yield strength , but a higher yield strength than Grade A. The most common application for steel tube Gr. B is in construction, where it is used to create everything from tubular steel framing to steel beams. Steel tube Gr. B is a versatile material that can be used in a variety of construction applications. Its strength and durability make it an ideal choice for structural elements such as steel framing, and its affordability makes it a popular choice for common construction applications.

ASTM A500 Grade B Yield Strength
For our ASTM A500 Grade B square, rectangular, and special shape tubing, ensuring compliance with the specified ASTM A500 Grade B properties is imperative. It’s noteworthy that a flattening test, although a standard requirement for most, is not mandated for ASTM A500 Grade B non-circular tubes, further distinguishing their unique quality standards within our product range.
| Grade | Yield (min) | Tensile (min) | Elongation (min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gr. B | 46,000 psi | 58,000 psi | Determined by wall |
