The Hybox 355 SHS 60x60x5 is a square hollow section reference for structural steel detailing and preliminary section comparison. This page brings together the published dimensions, corner radii, sectional area, unit weight, applicable standard reference, and the available DWG download.
Use the data below alongside the project specification and the governing design checks. The listed section properties are reference values; member resistance, stability, connection behavior, fabrication requirements, and serviceability must be verified for the actual application.

Depth : 60 mm
Width : 60 mm
Thickness : 5 mm
Outer Corner Radius : 10 mm
Inner Corner Radius : 5 mm
Sectional Area : 10.4 cm2
Unit Weight : 8.2 kg/m
Understanding the Hybox 355 SHS designation
SHS means square hollow section. Its equal outside dimensions make it distinct from rectangular hollow sections and useful when a drawing or model requires a consistent square profile. The designation 60x60x5 identifies the listed outside depth and width together with the wall thickness in the source data.
Dimensions and section properties
The source lists a 60 mm depth, 60 mm width, and 5 mm thickness. It also identifies an outer corner radius of 10 mm and an inner corner radius of 5 mm. These corner details matter when interpreting the real formed profile, checking clearances, and coordinating connections or fittings rather than treating the section as a sharp-cornered square.
The listed sectional area and unit weight provide useful reference information for quantity takeoffs, model data, and initial comparisons with other hollow sections. They should not be used on their own to confirm a member’s design capacity or connection performance.
Standard reference and fabrication context
The page cites EN 10219-2:2006-04 for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties of cold-formed welded structural hollow sections made from non-alloy and fine grain steels. The source also notes that EN 10219-1 addresses technical delivery conditions. Confirm the applicable project specification, material documentation, inspection requirements, and current adopted standards before procurement or design approval.
Using the DWG reference
The downloadable DWG can support drafting and CAD coordination for the listed profile. Check the drawing units, layer conventions, insertion point, and project-specific detailing requirements after download. A CAD outline is a representation of the section and does not replace the published dimensional reference or fabrication documentation.

Frequently asked questions
What does SHS mean?
SHS means square hollow section. It describes a hollow steel profile with equal listed outside dimensions.
What do the numbers 60x60x5 describe?
For this reference, the designation identifies the listed depth, width, and wall thickness: 60 mm by 60 mm with a 5 mm wall.
Which standard is referenced for this section?
The source cites EN 10219-2:2006-04 for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties, and notes EN 10219-1 for technical delivery conditions.
Can the DWG be used directly for structural design?
The DWG is a drafting and coordination resource. Structural design still requires verification of material, loading, stability, connections, fabrication, and project requirements by a qualified engineer.
