Net Explosive Weight Calculator

How to Use the Calculator

1. Enter the Gross Weight of the explosive including its immediate inner packaging.
2. Enter the Tare Weight which is the weight of the empty inner packaging.
3. Enter the Packaging Weight of the outer container.
4. Click the Calculate button to determine the Net Explosive Weight.
5. The result will be displayed in kilograms with two decimal places.

Why Is Net Explosive Weight Important?

The net explosive weight is a critical parameter for regulatory compliance in transportation and storage of explosives. It helps authorities determine appropriate handling procedures, storage requirements, and transportation classifications based on the actual weight of the explosive material itself.

Example Calculation

If you have an explosive package with:

• Gross Weight: 50.00 kg
• Tare Weight: 2.50 kg
• Packaging Weight: 3.00 kg

The Net Explosive Weight would be calculated as:

Net Explosive Weight = 50.00 kg - 2.50 kg - 3.00 kg = 44.50 kg

Important Notes

• Ensure all weights are measured in the same unit (kilograms in this calculator).
• For precise measurements, use calibrated scales that can measure to at least 0.01 kg precision.
• The results should be verified with proper documentation for regulatory compliance.
