Determination of the dry density of autoclaved aerated concrete

This document outlines the technical requirements for determining the dry density of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks. It serves as a harmonized reference aligned with European standards, providing a systematic approach to testing procedures within the construction industry. The methodology detailed herein establishes the precise steps required to prepare specimens, ensuring they are thoroughly dried before mass measurement. It specifies the use of appropriate instruments to achieve accurate volume determination and subsequent calculation of density values expressed in kilograms per cubic meter. By adhering to these guidelines, laboratories and quality control departments can ensure consistency and reliability when evaluating the physical properties of AAC materials. The scope covers the fundamental principles necessary for generating comparable data across different testing environments. This approach supports the assessment of material performance and facilitates compliance with broader technical specifications used in building applications throughout the region.
