Autoclaved aerated concrete
The process takes about 8–12 hours under a pressure of about 174 psi (12 bar) and a temperature of about 360°F (180°C) depending on the grade of material produced. During autoclaving the wire-cut units remain in their original positions in the AAC block. After autoclaving, they are separated for packaging.
