Calipers are devices consisting of metal rods held together by straps, which are used to support a person's legs when they cannot walk properly. Instrument that consists of two adjustable legs or jaws for measuring the dimensions of material parts. Spring calipers have an adjusting screw and nut; firm-joint calipers use friction at the joint to hold the legs unmoving. Outside calipers measure thicknesses and outside diameters of objects; inside calipers measure hole diameters and distances between surfaces. Hermaphrodite calipers, which have one leg bent inward and one straight leg ending in a sharp point, are used for scribing lines at a specified distance from a flat or curved surface. See also micrometer
Calipers are an instrument consisting of two long, thin pieces of metal joined together at one end, and are used to measure the size of things
