If you have known springs, you can compare them against an unknown spring by sleeving them over a common shaft.
Get a metal rod that's a bit smaller than the inside diameter of the springs. Put both springs on and compress them against each other. Springs with the same force-displacement profile will be equal lengths throughout the crunch so the intersection between springs will also be the midpoint of the total length.
