AS 1316:2003 (R2016) PDF Download

AS 1316:2003 (R2016) is a standard that outlines the requirements for masonry cement. Specifically, this standard applies to hydraulic cement that is designed to be used in mortars for masonry construction. It is intended to be used in conjunction with masonry units made of clay, calcium silicate, concrete, and square dressed natural stone.

It's important to note that this standard does not cover all the requirements that may be necessary for specific applications of masonry cement. For instance, it does not address the requirements for high strength mortars.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that this standard does not apply to the laying of autoclaved aerated concrete units (AAC) using thin bed mortars. Instead, AAC units require proprietary, purpose-made mortars.
