Standard Specification for Unreinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Masonry Units
Also Known As:
ASTM C1691-11 (R2017) is a standard specification that applies to solid, unreinforced masonry units made from autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC). This cementitious product offers various benefits such as a lightweight structure, excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties, and high fire resistance.
The standard focuses on important aspects of these AAC masonry units. It includes specifications for their dimensional tolerances, ensuring that they meet the required size standards. Additionally, it sets maximum limits for drying shrinkage, which is important to prevent any undesired deformations or cracking of the units over time.
Another important aspect covered by this standard is shipping and handling. It provides guidelines and requirements to ensure the safe transportation and proper handling of the AAC masonry units to avoid any potential damage that could affect their performance or structural integrity.
