What is the difference between A500 Grade B?
The specified yield strength of A500 Grade C (the most commonly available grade) is 46 ksi. The specified yield strength of A53 Grade B is 35 ksi. That’s over a 30% increase in yield strength. Therefore, A500 round HSS have greater strength-to-weight ratios than A53 pipes.
What is ASTM A500 Grade B?
A500 This specification covers cold formed welded and seamless carbon steel round, square, rectangular, or special shape structural tubing for welded, riveted, or bolted construction of bridges and buildings, and for general structural purposes.
