Please note that this measurement is taken at the hinge's part that attaches to the frame, not the sash. The actual length of the hinge could be shorter or longer dependent on how the old windows were manufactured.

The hinges that hang from the top can only be put on one side, whereas the side hung ones can only be put on one side.

Standard Hinge

Standard hinges feature metal-to-metal contacts and don't require extra parts to reduce friction. It's available in a range of finishes and fire rated. To determine the radius of your hinge put it on its flat surface and then line up a dime and quarter in two corners. If the dime fits better than the quarter, the corner is rounded by 1/4 inch; if the quarter fit better, it's rounded to 5/8 inch.
