Method to measure the spring pressure

Question Komaribane

Please tell me how to measure the spring pressure.
I am measuring the force of a U-shaped flat spring by pressing the same force with a digital force gauge from above, but there are variations due to errors in the stroke adjustment stage. I would like to change the measurement method.
Is there any good method that I can apply? Automatic measuring instruments are expensive and cannot be afforded. I would like to know if there is a cheap and measurable method.
Thank you in advance.

Answer Tokai Spring

Mr. Komaribane, thank you for your post!
If the fulcrum and the point of use of the flat spring deviate even a little, the effective length of the spring will change, and the load will change or vary accordingly. I don’t know if this causes the problem or not, but why don’t you consider using a jig that fixes the spring to the same position and can be pressed stably at a fixed position?
