DESCRIPTION

1″ x 1″ x 16 gauge (.063″ wall) square steel tubing is manufactured from ASTM A500 steel, a cold-formed carbon steel specification designed for structural and general-purpose applications. This hollow structural section (HSS) features a uniform square profile with a thinner wall, making it a lightweight and easy-to-handle option for fabrication projects where heavy load capacity is not required. Typically produced in Grade B, it offers good strength, excellent weldability, and consistent dimensional accuracy.

Applications:
1″ square steel tubing (16ga) is commonly used in light-duty fabrication and structural projects, including:
• Lightweight frames, supports, and brackets
• Furniture construction and decorative metalwork
• Gates, fencing, and railing infill
• Equipment enclosures and light guards
• DIY and hobby fabrication projects
• Sign frames and display structures

Advantages:
• Lightweight: Easy to transport, handle, and install
• Cost-effective: Uses less material while maintaining adequate strength
• Excellent weldability: Works well with MIG, TIG, and stick welding
• Easy fabrication: Simple to cut, drill, and modify
• Consistent dimensions: Ensures accurate fit-up and clean assembly

Summary:
The 1″ x 1″ x 16 gauge ASTM A500 square steel tube is a practical and economical choice for light-duty applications. Its lightweight design, ease of fabrication, and reliable performance make it ideal for frames, decorative structures, and general metalworking projects.

* Prices subject to change without notice due to the Metals Market fluctuations. | All ‘value length’ and ‘value pack’ item measurements are subject to a “mill tolerance”. | A product may be produced several thousandths of an inch, either over or under the stated thickness, and still be within “mill tolerance”. Since we cut the material specifically for your order, they follow these tolerances: Length: +0.125″ / -0.062” – Please note that during cutting, the blade removes about 1/16″ of material (kerf). This is a normal part of the process and is already considered within the stated tolerances.
