Best Answer

The diameter is the measurement of a line that goes right through a circle, through the centre point. In cases where we have a ring or some other such object with multiple circles, we would have an external diameter and an internal diameter. The internal diameter is the diameter of the inner circle. The external diameter is the diameter of the outer circle.

What is used to measure the internal and external diameter of a tube of about 5Cm bore?

A caliper can be used to measure the internal and external diameter of a tube with about a 5cm bore. Make sure to use the appropriate jaws of the caliper for accurate measurements. Alternatively, a micrometer can also be used for precise measurements of the tube's diameter.
