ASTM A500

ASTM A500 is a standard specification for cold-formed steel tubing used in construction. It ensures the steel is strong, durable, and consistent in quality for structural applications like building frames, poles, and posts. The standard covers different grades that specify the steel's mechanical properties and composition. It also sets requirements for dimensions, finish, and manufacturing processes. Essentially, ASTM A500 helps ensure that steel tubing meets safety and performance standards, providing reliability for construction projects.
