Enter the weight of display shells cases (lbs) and the weight of display cakes and candle (lbs) into the Fireworks Net Explosive Weight Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Fireworks Net Explosive Weight. 

Fireworks Net Explosive Weight Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Firework’s Net Explosive Weight.

NEW = DS W * .50 + DCW * .25

Variables:

  • NEW is the Firework’s Net Explosive Weight (lbs)
  • DSW is the weight of display shells cases (lbs) 
  • DCW is the weight of display cakes and candles (lbs) 

To calculate the fireworks net explosive weight, divide the weight of display shell cases by 2, then add this to the result of the weight of display cakes and candles divided by 4.

How to Calculate Fireworks Net Explosive Weight?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Fireworks Net Explosive Weight.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the weight of display shells cases (lbs).
    • The weight of display shells cases (lbs) is given as:: 400.
  2. Next, determine the weight of display cakes and candle (lbs).
    • The weight of display cakes and candle (lbs) is provided as: 200.
  3. Finally, calculate the Fireworks Net Explosive Weight using the equation above: 

NEW = DSW * .50 + DCW * .25

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

NEW = 400 * .50 + 200 * .25 = 250.00 (lbs)

Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

weight of display shells cases (lbs) = 300

weight of display cakes and candle (lbs) = 600

Test your knowledge and check your answer with the calculator..

NEW = DS W * .50 + DCW * .25 = ?
