    Key Features

    High Strength & Load Capacity
    Grade B/C square steel pipes are produced as per ASTM A500 specifications and deliver high yield strength and tensile property that are ideal for high end structural applications.

    Outstanding Structural Stability
    A square hollow section has equal thickness of walls, and this enhances its resistance to compression, flexural and torsional forces.

    Better Weldability and Fabrication
    The controlled chemical composition quality carbon steel bar easily cut, welded, drilled and processed.

    Precise Dimensions & Uniform Quality
    Cold-rolled processing guarantees accurate size, consistent wall thickness and dependable dimensional tolerance.

    Robust & Long Service Life
    Black steel, galvanized or coated for increased corrosion protection and performance in different environments.

    High Efficiency of Material Use
    By taking advantage of the high strength to weight efficiency of a hollow structure, material consumption can be reduced without sacrificing structural performance.

    Extensive Application Range
    Widely used in steel buildings, warehouses, bridges, machine cores, support and infrastructure work.

    ASTM steel pipe refers to carbon steel pipe used in oil and gas transmission systems. It is also used to transport other fluids such as steam, water, and mud.
