For structural tubing A500, the chemical composition features Carbon (C) with a maximum of 0.3%, Copper (Cu) with a maximum of 0.18%, Iron (Fe) at a minimum of 99%, Sulfur (S) with a maximum of 0.063%, and Phosphorus (P) with a maximum of 0.05%.
MECHANICAL INFORMATION
- The mechanical information for the given tubing categories is as follows: Mechanical Tubing conforming to A513 specifications is applicable for tubing with an outer diameter (OD) of less than 2 inches or a wall thickness less than or equal to 11 gauge. This tubing features an ultimate tensile strength of 132,000 psi (602 MPa) and a yield tensile strength of 74,185 psi (512 MPa). Structural Tubing conforming to A500 specifications applies to tubing with a 2-inch OD or greater and a wall thickness greater than 11 gauge. A500 structural tubing is available in grades A, B, C, and D, each having distinct mechanical properties. Grade A possesses an ultimate tensile strength of 45,000 psi (310 MPa) with a yield tensile strength of 39,000 psi (269 MPa). Grade B offers an ultimate tensile strength of 58,000 psi (400 MPa) and yield tensile strength of 46,000 psi (317 MPa). Grade C has an ultimate tensile strength of 62,000 psi (427 MPa) with a yield tensile strength of 50,000 psi (345 MPa). Lastly, Grade D has an ultimate tensile strength of 58,000 psi (400 MPa) with a yield tensile strength of 26,000 psi (250 MPa). The available sizes and their respective dimensions range from 1/2" x 1/2" to 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" with various wall thicknesses and weights, suitable for diverse applications in mechanical construction and structural integrity.
AVAILABLE SIZES
- Available Sizes include various dimensions and wall thicknesses for mechanical and structural tubing. For mechanical tubing under specification A513, sizes are available with an outer diameter (OD) of less than 2 inches and a wall thickness of less than or equal to 11 gauge. The available sizes for A513 mechanical tubing range from 1/2" x 1/2" x 16ga with a length of 288 inches and a weight of 0.384 lb/ft, to 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" x 11ga with a length of 288 inches and a weight of 1.844 lb/ft. For structural tubing under specification A500, which includes ODs of 2 inches or greater and wall thickness greater than 11 gauge, specific available sizes are not listed in the provided data. However, they typically conform to the structural demands requiring larger dimensions and heftier gauges for improved strength and support. Users are advised to consult the customer service department for detailed specifications, particularly for precise applications or custom orders.
