This reference page covers the Hybox 355 square hollow section identified as 160x160x10. Use the source data below to check the section dimensions, corner radii, sectional area, and unit weight when reviewing structural steel layouts, schedules, or connection details.
The page also provides context for EN 10219-2 and a downloadable DWG file. For related terminology, see the site’s references on square hollow sections, sectional properties, and structural steel connections.
Hybox 355 SHS 160x160x10
Hybox 355 Square Hollow Sections
refer to : EN 10219-2:2006-04
the European standard that specifies tolerances, dimensions, and sectional properties for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections made of non-alloy and fine grain steels. It complements EN 10219-1, which covers technical delivery conditions.
Dimension : 160x160x10
Depth : 160 mm
Width : 160 mm
Thickness : 10 mm
Outer Corner Radius : 25 mm
Inner Corner Radius : 15 mm
Sectional Area : 56.6 cm2
Unit Weight : 44.4 kg/m
Understanding the Hybox 355 SHS reference
SHS means square hollow section: a closed steel profile with equal outside width and depth. The section designation identifies its principal dimensions and wall thickness, while the listed corner radii describe the curved transitions between the flat faces.
The reported sectional area is useful when checking section-property data and material takeoffs. The unit weight supports estimating the mass of a length of section. These values should be read together with the dimensional information rather than treated as a substitute for a complete design check.
Standard and CAD reference
The source identifies EN 10219-2 as the reference for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for cold-formed welded structural hollow sections. It also distinguishes this dimensional and property reference from EN 10219-1, which addresses technical delivery conditions.
Use the linked DWG download when preparing drawings or comparing the profile with a project model. Confirm drawing units, layer conventions, material specification, fabrication requirements, and project tolerances before issuing any design or fabrication document.
Practical review points
- Check the section designation against the intended profile in the steel schedule.
- Use the corner-radius information when reviewing clearances, fits, weld details, and connection geometry.
- Confirm that the source values and applicable standard references match the project’s required product documentation.
- Have member resistance, stability, connection behavior, and fabrication details verified by the responsible engineer.
Frequently asked questions
What does SHS mean?
SHS means square hollow section. It describes a closed, square-profile steel section with equal outside width and depth.
What dimensions are identified on this page?
The source identifies the profile as Hybox 355 SHS 160x160x10 and lists its depth, width, wall thickness, outer corner radius, and inner corner radius.
Which standard is referenced?
The source references EN 10219-2 for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties, and notes that EN 10219-1 covers technical delivery conditions.
Is a CAD file available?
Yes. The page includes a DWG download for the Hybox 355 SHS 160x160x10 profile. Review the file’s units and project drafting requirements before using it in production documentation.
Can the listed section data be used as a complete design verification?
No. The listed data is a reference for the profile and its reported properties. Structural design also requires project-specific checks for loading, stability, connections, materials, fabrication, and applicable design rules.
