M5 - 1:5:10
M7.5 - 1:4:8
M10- 1:3:6
M15 - 1:2:4
M20 - 1:1.5:3
This is Volume Batching. Also when you convert N/sq.mm to Kg/sqcm, you will get M 20 grade as M200 approx. The conversion factor is like 1 N/mm2 = 9.8 Kg/cm2 or approx 10 kg/cm2.
It is also prescribed in the IS 456 that the design mix has to be carried out for mixes above M20.
1:1:2 shall otherwise be used in M25 grade in case of extreme necessity with the consent from Engineer in Charge.

@Jahidul Islam.
For M15 - 1:2:4.
For M15 - 1:2:4.

M10 = 1:3:6,
M15 = 1:2:3,
M20 = 1:1.5:3.
M15 = 1:2:3,
M20 = 1:1.5:3.

M20 and M200 both are same. Only units are different.

1 : 1.5 : 2 is correct.

What about M15?
Previously I read M15 was supposed to be 1 : 1 : 2. Somebody, please explain.
