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.

Metalworking: Metalworking is the craft and practice of working with metals to create parts or structures. The term covers a wide range of work from large ships, bridges and oil refineries to delicate jewellery. It therefore includes a correspondingly wide range of skills and the use of many different types of to...

Mechanical engineering: Mechanical engineering is the application of physical principles to the creation of useful reality for machine design. Such solid models may be used as the basis for finite element analysis (FEA) and / or computational fluid dynamics (CFD) of the design. Through the application of computer-aided man...
