ASTM A500 Grades B and C structural steel pipe and tube is used for an array of fabrication projects and is a workhorse of the industry. Metals USA carries a full assortment of ASTM A500 in all of the standard sizes and thicknesses including both pipe and tube. A500 Grades B and C are employed in applications where strength, structural efficiency, savings in weight, and added durability are important. Anywhere high or low-temperature resistance is required, A500 is often the preferred choice.
