I’m looking for some help on spring rate testing. I have access to a digital Intercomp testing machine. The instructions I was given are to jack the table until the gauge reads 10, zero out the caliper, jack the table 1/4”, wait 3 minutes, and then move to 3/8”, wait at least 3 minutes and record the number on the gauge. Does this process sound correct?
The next question is how do I use this data? Say I have 1 RS tire that reads 115 and the other RS reads 105. 1st question is what variance is a measurable difference. 2nd question is where would I want to place the higher spring rate? 3rd question is how do I use spring rate and durometer (ie 2 sets of tires have the same spring rate but are 8 points different in duro or 2 sets have the same duro but are 10 points different in spring rate)?
