Attempting to conduct a research inquiry on M25 concrete and was looking to validate a technique I found:
Multiply the volume by 1.54
Divide previous value by 4 (since ratio of cement:sand:aggregate is 1:1:2)
Multiply previous value by 1440 (density of cement)
If this method is incorrect, please help me locate a more appropriate one. Thank you in advance.
Please go to the India. Standard IS-10262-2009 for mix design of concrete. You can get what you need.
Thank you
Shaswat Kumar Das Thank you for your response. Could you possibly direct me to where I can find this?

Any standard mix design procedure will help in determining weight of cement.
Alternatively decide batching of concrete whether to go with weight batching or volume batching?
For small work, weight and volume of cement bag (Generally 50 kg) can easily find out and appropriate weight or volume for other ingredients can be work out.
