Hi all, How can I calculate how much weight can a 10"x10" x.5" 30'high carbon steel tube support? Is there a online calculator I can download? Thanks....

It is apparent that you are not an engineer. This forum is for engineers. I suggest you get one involved before something gets damaged or someone gets hurt.

You can get quick reference tables from various sources for axial resistance. Strictly speaking, based on your problem, the axial capacity of your ‘post/column/tube’ can pretty much range from about 1,600,000 pounds, pretty well down to zero depending on various factors like steel type, connection details, end connections, axial load eccentricities.... and the list goes on.
It is likely to be in the range of 100,000-300,000lbf, but like the others have said, get someone qualified to look at it if it is a real design. That is a pretty large tube which can potentially hold a lot of weight, and equally able to drop a lot of weight.
