What is a Caliper?
A Caliper in its simplest form has a stop point (anvil) and a sliding component with a stop point. The distance between these two points represents a measurement. These can be used to check many characteristics of a component depending on how they are designed – ID’s, OD’s, lengths, widths, depths and other characteristics.
