Product catalog summary
Overview of Fiorditufo Masonry Blocks
Fiorditufo masonry blocks are designed for load-bearing applications. The document provides detailed specifications for different block codes, including their dimensions, weight, and thermal properties.

Specifications
  • Material Characteristics: The average weight of tuff is 1.40 t/m3, and the mortar (cement-lime) is 1.90 t/m3.
  • Block Codes and Dimensions: The document lists several block codes (2511, 2513, 2515, 2520) with dimensions ranging from 37x25x11 cm to 37x25x20 cm.
  • Weight and Packaging: Each block's weight varies from 14.25 kg to 25.90 kg, with the number of blocks per pallet ranging from 28 to 66.

Thermal Properties
  • 37-cm Wall Configuration: Includes a Fiorditufo wall, air gap, perforated-brick wall, and plaster. The total thermal resistance is 1.469 m2°K/w, with a thermal transmittance of 0.681 w/m2°K.
  • 37-cm Wall with Insulation: Incorporates a 4-cm insulating panel, resulting in a total resistance of 2.936 m2°K/w and a transmittance of 0.341 w/m2°K.
  • 25-cm Wall with Insulation: Features a 5-cm insulating panel, achieving a total resistance of 3.072 m2°K/w and a transmittance of 0.325 w/m2°K.

Conclusion
The document provides comprehensive data on the physical and thermal properties of Fiorditufo masonry blocks, highlighting their suitability for various construction applications, particularly in load-bearing walls.
