A caliper log is a well logging tool that provides a continuous measurement of the size and shape of a borehole along its depth^[1] and is commonly used in hydrocarbon exploration. The measurements that are recorded can be an important indicator of wash-outs, cave ins or shale swelling in the borehole, which can affect the results of other well logs.
