Concrete Block (CMU) - ConstructionMentor
Concrete block has a compressive strength between 600 and 1500psi, depending on the grade. From an estimating standpoint, a 100 square foot wall will require 112.5/ea – 8 x 16″ units. For a 3/8″ joint, each block will require 0.27 cubic feet of mortar. Normal weight block is made from concrete that weighs 3,375lbs per cubic yard.

lightweight vs. normal weight CMU - Structural
2007-8-26 ACI defines f'm as the specified "compressive" strength. And I agree, if the required compressive strength is above 1500 psi, then a stronger block would be required. The PRISM test is one way to determine the compressive strength. But Section 1.4 of ACI 530.1-02 also permits the Unit Strength method to be used which requires:
