A caliper is a device used in the metalworking field of mechanical engineering, to measure the distance between two symmetrically opposing sides. A caliper can be as simple as a compass with inward or outward-facing points. After the measurement is taken the distance can be read by applying the caliper on a ruler or between the jaws of a Vernier caliper.
