(3 mm) thickness, before the brick are laid in place (buttering or bricklayer's method). Refer to Practice C 723.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
