Answer:

Caliper

Step-by-step explanation:

The caliper is used to measure body fat in a method called "skin folding". The "skin fold" method measures your body fat percentage by pinching your fat with your fingers, and then measuring the thickness with a body fat caliper. The reading is given in millimeters, which makes you compare a graph with age and gender to arrive at your body fat percentage.
