Revision of C652-17a Standard Specification for Hollow Brick (Hollow Masonry Units Made From Clay or Shale)

Rationale

The purpose of this ballot is to provide a manufacturing tolerance for units with a dimension greater than 16 inches (408 mm). The results from a poll conducted of Brick Industry Association manufacturer members were nearly 50/50 on developing additional tolerances for units with a dimension greater than 16 inches (408 mm). Discussions with mason contractors and their representatives revealed concerns with the installation of units with greater tolerances than what currently exist in C652. Therefore, the proposed change is to remove the upper end maximum dimension of 16 inches (408 mm).
