There is no concise and universal answer to the question. The definition of the term 'Net Explosive Weight' (NEW) depends on the country and the context the term is used in. In most cases it refers to the total weight of a load containing explosives, i.e. cross weight of load/ cargo minus all packing material weight minus all weight of assembly components that is not explosive material, e.g. housing, gaskets etc.. It is used to classify the risk level associated with the load or item, in most cases for the purpose of transport and/ or storage.
If used in the context of storage facilities it refers to the amount of explosives the facility is designed to hold, in terms of structural strength as well as safety stand-off. In that case the NEW is the weight of Trinitrotuloene (TNT). To asses the stores their NEW has to be recalculated into the TNT equivalent, often called 'net equivalent quantity' (NEQ), but sometimes referred to as NEW as well.
