Yeah I was getting silly numbers too, hence why I've not published my table...
One thing is for certain the AE pound "lb" rating of their springs is a bit nonsense. It's a weight, not a force. They do not mean lb/in either? I figured I'd start with "known" ratings, and calculate/convert back from metric force to the "lb" rating. silly numbers.

I just figured I'd go with the N/CM scale of the gauge, and refer them all back to that scale.
