Product Description

ASTM A500 is a standard specification for cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel structural tubing in round, square, and rectangular shapes. The highest grade (strength level) specified in ASTM A500 is: Grade D, This grade offers the highest mechanical properties among the available grades (A, B, C, and D) in ASTM A500.

 

Key Requirements For ASTM A500 Grade D 
Mechanical Properties  
Tensile Strength: 
Minimum Tensile Strength: 58ksi (400 MPa)

Yield Strength: 
Minimum Yield Strength: 36ksi(250MPa)

Elongation: 
Minimum elongation in 2 inches (50.8 mm) varies based on wall thickness and tube shape but is generally ≥ 16% for structural applications.

 

Chemical Composition (Max % By Weight, Unless Range Is Given): 
Carbon (C): ≤ 0.26% 
Manganese (Mn): ≤ 1.35% 
Phosphorus (P): ≤ 0.035% 
Sulfur (S): ≤ 0.035% 
Copper (Cu): ≥ 0.20% (when copper steel is specified) 
 

Manufacturing Process: 
Tubes can be welded (electric-resistance welded, ERW) or seamless (SMLS). 
Cold-forming is required to achieve mechanical properties. 
 

Common Applications: 
High-strength structural frameworks 
Bridges, buildings, and construction supports 
Machinery and heavy-load applications
