Help answer this question below.
You could use just about anything that measures a straight line, since a diameter is a line - like a ruler, or calipers, yardstick, etc.
Ah wait a sec - perhaps you meant a SPHERICAL object. Then the calipers would do the best job. The ruler wouldn't be much good. :o) And a tape measure would give you the circumference, not the diameter.
What is the smallest fractional portion of an inch you can measure with a ruler?
