The amount of dill in a sprig can vary, but a general estimate is that one sprig of fresh dill typically equals about 1 teaspoon of chopped dill. If using dried dill, one sprig would equate to about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon, as dried herbs are more concentrated in flavor. Always adjust according to personal taste and the specific recipe.
One head of fresh dill typically weighs around 1 ounce, which is equivalent to about 3 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill. When dried, herbs lose much of their volume, so you would need to use approximately 1 tablespoon of dried dill weed to substitute for 3 tablespoons of fresh dill. Keep in mind that dried herbs have a more concentrated flavor, so adjust the amount to taste.
