Product Description
What is ASTM A500 Square / Rectangular Steel Pipe Hollow Section?
ASTM A500 square/rectangular steel pipe (HSS) is a high-performance, cost-effective, and versatile material widely utilized in modern construction and engineering due to its excellent mechanical properties, workability, and aesthetic qualities.
ASTM A500 Hollow Section Specification
| Size | Thickness |
| (mm) | (mm) |
| 30×50 | 1.3~3.75 |
| 50×100 | 1.4~9.75 |
| 120×60 | 1.8~16.0 |
| 150×100 | 2.5~16.0 |
| 300×200 | 6.0~30.0 |
Applications of ASTM A500 Hollow Section Square / Rectangular Steel Pipe
- Building Construction: Columns, beams, trusses, braces, frames, and other structural supports in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings.
- Bridges: Components in various bridge types.
- Architectural Exposed Structural Steel (AESS): Due to its clean lines and smooth finish, it’s often used in visible structural elements for aesthetic purposes.
- Industrial Equipment: Machine frames, conveyor systems, and other heavy equipment components.
- Agricultural Equipment: Various structural parts.
- Transportation: Vehicle frames, highway signs, and guardrails.
Compare ASTM A500 with EN 10210 Hollow Sections
While both ASTM A500 and EN 10210 cover structural hollow sections, the key difference lies in the manufacturing process:
- ASTM A500: Primarily covers cold-formed HSS.
- EN 10210: Covers hot-finished HSS.
This difference in manufacturing leads to variations in residual stress, impact toughness, and sometimes dimensional tolerances and maximum achievable sizes/thicknesses. Designers often choose between them based on specific project requirements, design codes, and regional availability.
