According to zipp, the sapim cx-sprint have 2.25mm width and 1.25mm thickness. If you use the park tool tension web app, for these spoke measures, 100kgf correspond to 17 in the park tool tm-1 tension meter. Am I right?
that is what it says, yes. Whether it is correct or not is another matter; it says exactly the same thing if you exchange the width and thickness measurements when you enter them.
Looking at the chart it suggests that your steel blade is comparable with a 1.5-1.6mm steel round spoke or a 1.4 x 2.6mm Ti blade; seems believable to me.
