Default Spring Width For 39mm Forks

So... probably a stupid question, but I bought some fork cartridges from Works for a 39mm front end... the purchase order says 31mm(inner diameter?) with multiple fitment... I'm assuming that is the spring wight to account for 8mm of fork tube width? Does that sound correct?

I just did a rough measurement a couple days ago to calculate an oil level change.. 31 is about right.. It's probably 1/2 mm wider.. Remember.. The wall is less than 4mm wide as you have 2 side to the tube..
