📋IS 10262:2019 Table 2 — Quick Reference
Design water content (L/m³) for crushed aggregate — most used starting point in IS 10262 mix design
| MSA Slump → | 25 mm | 50 mm | 75 mm ★ | 100 mm | 125 mm | 150 mm |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 mm | 208 | 212 | 220 | 228 | 234 | 242 |
| 20 mm ★ | 175 | 180 | 186 ★ | 194 | 200 | 208 |
| 40 mm | 159 | 163 | 168 | 175 | 180 | 188 |
★ Most common combination: 20mm MSA + 75mm slump → 186 L/m³ (crushed aggregate, Zone II sand). For rounded aggregate: deduct 10 L/m³. For M-Sand: add 5–12 L/m³ depending on stone dust content. For slump change: add/subtract ~6.5 L/m³ per 25mm change.
