Abstract
The pipe contour gauge is a device used to determine a diameter of a pipe or other object. The pipe contour gauge is constructed of a contour base from which a plurality of tines is able to move. Each of the plurality of tines is generally parallel with adjacent ones of the plurality of tines. Moreover, each of the plurality of tines is able to move independent of any remaining ones of the plurality of tines. Each of the plurality of tines is able to move up or down with respect to the contour base. The plurality of tines is adapted to interface with a surface of an object in order to form a profile that is compared with a chart outlining different diameters. The chart that outlines different diameters is used to decipher a size of a pipe or cylindrically-shaped object.
