Type K mortar is listed in Appendix X3 - Tuck Pointing Mortar, in ASTM
C270. It is described as 1 part Portland cement, 2.25 to 4 parts lime,
and 2.25 to 3 times the total volume of cement and lime for the sand.
It is listed in the Appendix as an alternate to Type O for exterior,
above grade service, exposed on one side, unlikely to be frozen when
saturated, not subject to high wind or significant lateral load.
