Different nations have different standard block size and measurements, be that as it may, block can be made in numerous shapes and sizes, contingent upon its application. On the off chance that blocks are huge, it is hard to consume them appropriately and they become too substantial to possibly be put with a solitary hand. Then again, if blocks are little, greater amount of mortar is required. Consequently, a standard measurement is resolved for different block works. Real size (or the predefined size), is the genuine component of the block.
Standard Brick Size in England
"In England, the length and width of the regular block has remained genuinely steady throughout the hundreds of years yet the profundity has differed from around two inches (around 51 mm) or littler in prior occasions to around more than two inches (around 64 mm) all the more as of late. In the United Kingdom, the standard size of a cutting edge block is 215 × 102.5 × 65 mm (around 8 5⁄8 × 4 1⁄8 × 2 5⁄8 inches), which, with an ostensible 10 mm (3⁄8 inch) mortar joint, frames a unit size of 225 × 112.5 × 75 mm (9 × 4 1⁄2 × 3 inches), for a proportion of 6:3:2." – Wikipedia
Standard Brick Size in United States
"In the United States, present day standard blocks are (constrained by American Society for Testing and Materials for example ASTM) around 8 × 3 5⁄8 × 2 1⁄4 inches (203 × 92 × 57 mm). The more regularly utilized is the particular block 7 5⁄8 × 3 5⁄8 × 2 1⁄4 inches (194 × 92 × 57 mm). This measured block of 7 5⁄8 with a 3⁄8 mortar joint facilitates the computation of the quantity of blocks in a given run." – Wikipedia
Standard Brick Size in Australia

Standard and Nominal Brick size in India
In India, standard block size is 190 mm x 90 mm x 90 mm according to the proposal of BIS. With mortar thickness, the component of the block winds up 200 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm which is otherwise called the ostensible size of the particular block.
Standard Brick Size in Nepal
As indicated by National Building Code (NBC 205 : 1994) of Nepal, the blocks will be of a standard rectangular shape, consumed red, hand-framed or machine-made, and of smashing quality at least 3.5 N/mm². The higher the thickness and the quality, the better they will be. The standard block size of 240 x 115 x 57 mm with 10 mm thick level and vertical mortar joints is best. Resistances of - 10 mm on length, - 5 mm on width and ±3 mm on thickness will be adequate with the end goal of thick dividers in this Mandatory Rules of Thumb (MRT).
