(1) Oven dry weights will be less than ]obsite weights and will depend on unit shape and the concrete unit weight used. The maximum jobsite weights are given just for field control to help insure Smart Wall units are being used. For maximum oven dry weights of Smart Wall units, contact your supplier.

(2) When compared to heavy concrete masonry at 135 lbs per cubic foot

(3) R-Values are based on ASTM minimum required block dimensions and 90 lbs/cu ft concrete unit weight, using the series parallel calculation method with air films included. R is expressed as (hr x foot squared x  degrees Farenheit) / BTU.

(4) Wall HC (Heat Capacity) is based on ASTM minimum required block dimensions, 90 lbs/cu ft concrete unit weight and includes mortar. HC expressed as BTU / (foot squared x degrees Farenheit).
