About ASTM A500
ASTM A500 is a standard specification for cold-formed welded and seamless carbon steel structural tubing in rounds, squares, rectangles, and special shapes. Widely used in structural applications including columns, frames, and supports.
This size meets ASTM A500 requirements with a minimum yield strength of 50 ksi and minimum tensile strength of 58 ksi. View the full ASTM A500 standard.
Common Applications
0.875 OD round tubing in ASTM A500 is commonly used for: Hydraulic cylinders, pneumatic cylinders, automotive shafts, precision mechanical components, bushings.
Round tubing offers the most efficient strength-to-weight ratio under torsional and bending loads, used widely in mechanical assemblies, pressure applications, automotive components, and any application where smooth surfaces aid flow or rotation.

What’s the difference between ASTM A500 and A513 for round tubing?
ASTM A500 and A513 are both common specifications for round steel tubing, but they serve different purposes. ASTM A500 is a structural specification with defined minimum yield and tensile strengths, used primarily in load-bearing applications like framing and columns. ASTM A513 is a mechanical tubing specification focused on dimensional precision and surface finish, used in applications where tight tolerances matter more than structural strength ratings. For 0.875 OD round tubing, Nova Steel supplies the A500 specification described on this page; contact us if you need A513 in the same size.
Is 0.875 OD round tubing with a 0.083″ wall available?
0.875 OD ASTM A500 round tubing with a 0.083″ wall is available by request from Nova Steel, produced in 20-ft standard lengths and cut-to-length on request. Submit the quote form to confirm current availability, lead time, and pricing.
