Standard Practice for Construction and Testing of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC) Masonry
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
4.1 This practice applies to the materials and methods used in the construction of AAC masonry. It directly references the AAC materials standards under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee C27 and the workmanship requirements of TMS 602 and supplements those workmanship requirements with additional requirements particular to AAC masonry.
SCOPE
1.1 This practice applies to construction and testing of masonry made of AAC units. It includes or references terminology, material specifications, and methods of test. It references specifications and test methods.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

INTRODUCTION
Masonry units of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) can be produced with dimensional tolerances
as small as 0.06 in. (1.5 mm). As a consequence, AAC masonry units can be laid with mortar joints
approximately 0.38 in. (10 mm) thick, and also with thinner joints. The exterior face of the resulting

INTRODUCTION
Masonry units of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) can be produced with dimensional tolerances
as small as 0.06 in. (1.5 mm). As a consequence, AAC masonry units can be laid with mortar joints
approximately 0.38 in. (10 mm) thick, and also with thinner joints. The exterior face of the resulting
AAC masonry wall is then protected from the elements using an exterior wythe of masonry, a cladding
system, or a breathable coating resistant to penetration by liquid water. The interior face can be
plastered, furred, or painted.
