Hybox 355 SHS 160x160x6
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.

Outer Corner Radius : 12 mm
Inner Corner Radius : 6 mm
Sectional Area : 36 cm2
Unit Weight : 28.3 kg/m
How to read the SHS designation
The designation 160x160x6 describes a square hollow section with equal outside depth and width and a stated wall thickness. Because the outside dimensions are equal, the profile is a square section rather than a rectangular hollow section. The corner radii shown in the reference are important when interpreting the actual formed shape and when coordinating drawings or fabrication details.
Reference values and section identification
The listed sectional area and unit weight provide two practical ways to identify and check the profile. Sectional area is commonly used when comparing steel quantities and reviewing section-property references, while unit weight supports material takeoffs and weight checks. These values should be kept associated with the exact section designation because similar-looking hollow sections may have different wall thicknesses or material specifications.
Standard and CAD reference
The source identifies EN 10219-2:2006-04 for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties, with EN 10219-1 noted for technical delivery conditions. Consult the linked DWG when preparing drawings, layouts, or coordination details, and verify that the downloaded geometry matches the project’s required section designation before issuing fabrication information.
