3. Method of Manufacture
(1) Square tubes shall be manufactured by forming welded steel tubes (by means of electric resistance welding. forging welding or automatic arc welding) or seamless steel tubes
into square section, or manufactured by forming a steel sheet in coil into square section or into one pair of channel section followed by a continuous electric resistance welding or
automatic arc welding process.
(2) Square tubes shall be furnished as manufactured condition and, as a rule, not heat-treated.

4. Chemical Composition
The pipe shall be tested in accordance with 8.1 and the resulting ladle analysis values shall conform to Table 2.
Table 2. Chemical Composition

Remark
When a pipe is made from killed steel and the purchaser requires product analysis, the tolerances on the values given in the above table shall be as specified in Table 1 in J IS
G0321.

5. Mechanical Properties
5.1 Tensile Strength, Yield Point or Proof Stress and Elongation
The tube shall be tested in accordance with 8.2 and the resulting tensile strength, yield point or proof stress and elongation shall conform to Table 3.

STKR 490 490 {50}min. 325 {33} min. 23 min.
Remark
1. When the tube under 8 mmin thickness is subjected to tensile test, the minimum value of elongation shall be calculated by subtracting 1.5 % from the value of elongation given
in Table 3 for each decrease of 1 mm and rounding off the result to a whole number according to J IS Z 8401.
2. When a tensile test piece is to be taken from the welded steel square tube, one shall be taken from a seamless portion.
5.2 Bendability
For a square tube manufactured by welding. a bending test on welded zone shall be made as required by the purchaser. I n this case, the specified values, test method and
sampling method shall be agreed upon by the purchaser and the manufacturer.

6. Appearance
6.1 Square tubes shall be free from defects that are detrimental to practical use.
6.2 The surface finishing of square tubes and plating, if particularly required by the purchaser, shall be agreed upon between the purchaser and the manufacturer.

7. Dimensions, Mass and Dimensional Tolerances
7.1 Dimensions and Weight
The Dimensions and mass of square tubes shall be as given Attached Table. However, the standard radius if curvature at corner shall be 1.5t of wall thickness on the center line
of the wall thickness.
The standard lengths of the tube shall be 6m, 8m, 10m and 12m.
7.2 Dimensional Tolerance
The tolerances on side length, unevenness of flat plate portion for each side, angularity made between adjacent flat plate portions, dimension at corner, length, unstraightness
and wall measurement of dimensions of sectional profile and angle at corner shall be made at any point except both ends of the Square tube.
