The main difference between them is the width of the block. The B series has a 500 mm width whereas the S series is only 450 mm. \u00a0In a single lintel layout, this translates into a constant pattern made of lintel+ block+ lintel which is 650 mm centre lines for the B series and 600 mm for the S Series.<\/p><p>The blocks are not structural components of the slab. They are used to create a shutter to allow high strength concrete to be poured and casted over them.
