Notes:

Nominal length is a calculated number and cannot be measured in the free state. It is the actual installed length plus1/2 pitch.
Unified Sizes: The number of free coils is the total number of convolutions and has a tolerance of ±1/4 coil. Convolutions are counted by starting 90° from the tang for all Fine sizes and for Coarse sizes 5/8" and smaller. For coarse sizes 3/4" and up convolutions are counted by starting 180° from the tang.
Metric Sizes: The number of free coils is the total number of convolutions and has a tolerance of ±1/4 coil. Convolutions are counted by starting 90° from the tang for all Fine sizes and for Coarse sizes 16mm and smaller. For coarse sizes 18mm and up convolutions are counted by starting 180° from the tang.
