How is a Spark Plugs Reach Calculated?

A spark plugs reach is calculated by the length of the threads.  It is measured from the seat of the plug to the end of the threads; it does not include the electrodes, or an extended metal shell. 

When custom-selecting a spark plug, the electrode length and projection should be included in the calculation when taking into consideration the clearance in the combustion chamber.
