1. (Engineering / Tools) any of various instruments or devices for the accurate measurement of distances or angles

2. (Engineering / Tools) Also called micrometer gauge micrometer calliper a type of gauge for the accurate measurement of small distances, thicknesses, diameters, etc. The gap between its measuring faces is adjusted by a fine screw, the rotation of the screw giving a sensitive measure of the distance moved by the face
