• Key Concepts: 
  Net explosive weight (NEW) is a term used in the IS-DFS SAP for Defense & Security to refer to the total weight of explosives contained in a single item or package. It is calculated by multiplying the net explosive quantity (NEQ) by the explosive factor (EF). The NEQ is the amount of explosives contained in a single item or package, while the EF is a measure of the explosive power of the material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to calculate the NEW, you must first determine the NEQ and EF. The NEQ can be determined by measuring the amount of explosives contained in a single item or package. The EF can be determined by consulting a reference table that lists the explosive power of various materials. Once you have determined both values, you can calculate the NEW by multiplying them together. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When calculating NEW, it is important to remember that it is a measure of weight and not volume. Therefore, it is important to use accurate measurements when determining both the NEQ and EF. Additionally, it is important to use an up-to-date reference table when determining the EF, as explosive power can vary depending on the type of material used.
