I will try to get the calibration data from Swift. For our own tester, I will need to check with the Intercomp documents that came with it.
Regarding testing 4 separate parts, that is easy to do. Unfortunately, Swift test every single individual spring after it comes off production to make sure the rate is 100% accurate (that is why they have an expensive Roehrig spring tester); if it does not meet the specified rate, the spring is simply scrapped. Therefore, it is nearly impossible to find a Swift spring that is not at it's advertised rate
when new.
However, testing them after being used for a few months, that is something that we can and will do. Whether this thread is updated with the data or not though, that is up to the community to decide.
I am not doing this to advertise any particular brand or company (contrary to my username), so if people deem this as "advertising in disguise", then I won't continue.
