ASTM C 73 Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Calcium Silicate Brick (Sand-Lime Brick)
ASTM International
Publication Date:
May 15, 2005
Scope:
(Footnote *)
This specification covers brick made principally from sand and lime
and intended for use in brick
masonry. Two grades of brick are covered:
Grade SW - Brick intended for use where exposed to temperature below
freezing in the presence of
moisture.
NOTE 1 - As a typical example, brick used for foundation courses and
parapets in the northeastern
quarter of the United States should conform to Grade SW.
Grade MW - Brick intended for use where exposed to temperature below
freezing but unlikely to be
saturated with water.
NOTE 2 - As a typical example, brick exposed in the face of the wall
other than parapet or
foundations, or brick intended for structures located in regions of
the United States characterized
by less severe frost action or by drier climate than is found in the
northeastern quarter of the
United States should conform to Grade MW.
When the term brick is used in this specification, it is understood to
mean brick or solid masonry
units.
If brick having a particular color, texture, finish, or uniformity is
desired, these features shall
be specified separately by the purchaser.
The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide
explanatory material. These
notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not
be considered as requirements
of the standard.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
