The essential requirements for an instrument springs are:

1) They should be non-magnetic

2) They should be proof from mechanical fatigue

3) Where springs are used to lead current into a moving system, they should have a small resistance, their cross-sectional area must be sufficient to carry the current without temperature rise affecting their constant.

4) They should also have a low resistance temperature coefficient

For most applications’ phosphor bronze has been found to be the most suitable material except in instruments low in resistance (like multi-voltmeters).
