AS 1316-2003 Masonry cement
Standards Australia
Supersedes: AS 1316-1972 Masonry cement
Draft Designation: DR 98633Reconfirmed by: AS 1316-2003 Rec:2016 Masonry cement
This Standard was prepared by Standards Australia Committee BD-010, Cement, to supersede AS 1316—1972.
The objective of this Standard is to provide manufactures and users of masonry cement with specifications covering materials, composition, sampling, testing, physical requirements, packing and marking for masonry cement intended for use in mortars for masonry construction in conjunction with masonry units of clay, calcium silicate, concrete and square dressed natural stone.
This Standard incorporates the following major changes to AS 1316—1972:
(a) In line with Standards Australia policy of producing performance-based Standards, masonry cements are specified in terms of their performance, wherever possible.
(b) An attempt has been made to closely align this Standard with developments in AS 3700, Masonry structures, particularly in adopting the same masonry mortar classification.
(c) The revision of AS 1316—1972 produced two separate Standards; a specification for masonry cement (this Standard), and a suite of test methods for masonry cement published separately as part of the AS/NZS 2350 series.
