I remember using those in physics class back in high school. You can can measure the force in joules and compare to a spring guide to estimate fps. I have a loose idea of what the range of spring ratings are for mine so to compare them I place them on a wooden spoon and see how hard they are to compress. But you cant compare between linear and non linear springs though because non linear springs have an irregular compression ratio.
