Different mixes (M) come in various mix proportions of the various ingredients of cement, sand and coarse aggregates. For instance, M20 comes in the respective ratio of 1:1:5:3. You can see other examples below in the table.
| Concrete Grade | Mix Ratio (cement : sand : aggregates) | Compressive Strength | |
| MPa (N/mm2) | psi | ||
| Grades of Concrete | |||
| M5 | 1 : 5 : 10 | 5 MPa | 725 psi | 
| M7.5 | 1 : 4 : 8 | 7.5 MPa | 1087 psi | 
| M10 | 1 : 3 : 6 | 10 MPa | 1450 psi | 
| M15 | 1 : 2 : 4 | 15 MPa | 2175 psi | 
| M20 | 1 : 1.5 : 3 | 20 MPa | 2900 psi |
