Tool and method for use in measuring a pressure induced by a biasing member on a surface

An assembly for use in measuring a pressure induced by a biasing member on a surface, said assembly comprising:

• a pressure measurement device;
• a tool comprising:
• a first indexing member coupled to a first side of the pressure measurement device;
• and
• a second indexing member coupled to a second opposing side of the pressure measurement device, wherein said second indexing member comprises an outer surface comprising a recess sized to receive at least a portion of the biasing member,
• wherein said first and second indexing members are configured to be pressed between the biasing member and the surface such that said first and second indexing members compress against the pressure measurement device;
• and
• a display device coupled in communication with said pressure measurement device, wherein said display device is configured to display the pressure induced by the biasing member.

A method of measuring a pressure induced by a first biasing member on a surface with a pressure measurement device, said method comprising:

• positioning a tool between the first biasing member and the surface, wherein the tool comprises a first indexing member configured to be coupled between the surface and the pressure measurement device, and a second indexing member configured to be coupled between the biasing member and the pressure measurement device;
• coupling the first indexing member to the surface;
• coupling the first biasing member to the second indexing member;
• and
• obtaining pressure measurements as the first and second indexing members are pressed between the first biasing member and the surface.
