The title of this standard should not be taken to imply that all of the materials quoted are necessarily used solely or even principally in building. This schedule was first published in 1935 as an attempt to provide a solution to the problems which had arisen through structural and other calculations being based on different data for the weights of materials concerned. The 1949 revision was undertaken with a view to making the information more complete by the inclusion of certain extra materials, together with such changes in the data as had been found to be necessary | BRITISH STANDARD BS 648 1964 Incorporating Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 Schedule of Weights of building materials UDC 691 NO COPYING WITHOUT BSI PERMISSION EXCEPT AS PERMITTED BY COPYRIGHT LAW BS 648 1964 Co-operating organizations The committee responsible for the preparation of this British Standard includes representatives from the following organizations Association of Municipal Corporations .
