Product type
Concrete blocks are large rectangular units made from a mixture of cement, water, and aggregates such as sand or gravel. They are formed in molds and cured to achieve strength and durability. These blocks are commonly used in construction for walls, foundations, and other structural applications due to their excellent compressive strength and thermal insulation properties.
| Material | Cement, aggregates, and water |
| Standard sizes | Commonly 16 x 8 x 8 inches or 12 x 8 x 16 inches |
| Weight | Approximately 30 to 50 pounds per block |
| Compressive strength | Typically ranges from 1,500 to 3,000 psi |
| Thermal conductivity | Approximately 0.8 to 1.0 BTU·in/(h·ft²·°F) |
When selecting concrete blocks, consider the specific application and required strength. It's important to specify the desired size, compressive strength, and any particular insulation or fire resistance requirements. Additionally, inquire about the quantity needed, as bulk purchasing may offer cost advantages. Certifications such as ASTM standards may also be relevant for quality assurance.
