C25 concrete is a concrete having compressive strength of 25MPa when tested at the 28th day after casting. The specimen can be cube(150x150x150) or cylindrical(125mm by 250mm high). The cube strength has 0.8 times that of cylindrical specimen due to shape factor.

With regards to concrete strength, a cylinder test strength is usually between 5 and 25 percent less than a cube test strength. You can also try using this equation: fbk=(fck-1.77)/0.83 where fbk is cubic concrete strength and fck is cylindrical strength.
The number relates to the compressive strength of a cube of concrete when tested (i.e. 30 N/mm2 or 40N/mm2) The higher the number the greater the strength of the concrete. The choice of concrete grade is usually made at the design stage for the strucutre and effects the overall strength and resistance of the strucutre to decay. You would use a higher strength concrete in a more exposed environment. It is important to use the concrete grade specified for the proposed strucutre.

A metre cube of concrete is a volume of concrete which is equivalent to the volume of a cube each of whose sides are 1 metre long.
concrete cube of 15x15x15 is used fortesting compressive strength.durability testeffloresence test.
The standard for concrete cube testing is to put the cube under increased pressure. The pressure is increased until the cube breaks and determines the cubes compression strength.
Cylindrical strength = 85% of Cube strength.
The concrete that gives a compressive strength of 40 N/mm2 when its cube is tested.
Basically, the force supplied by a concrete compression machine is a definite value. For normal concrete strength application, say below 50MPa, the stress produced by a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is sufficient for the machine to crush the concrete sample. However, if the designed concrete strength is 100MPa, under the same force (about 2,000kN) supplied by the machine, the stress under a 150mmx150mmx150mm cube is not sufficient to crush the concrete cube. Therefore, 100mmx100mmx100mm concrete cubes are used instead to increase the applied stress to crush the concrete cubes. For normal concrete strength, the cube size of 150mmx150mmx150mm is already sufficient for the crushing strength of the machine.
Concrete has a density of approx. 2400 kg/m3 . A cube of concrete 150mm3 is 0.15m3.As such it's mass is 2400 x 0.15 = 360 kg.It's weight is 360 x 9.81 = 3531.6 Newtons.
