    Abstract: A downhole tool is disclosed for measuring wellbore geometry. The downhole tool may include a body with a bore extending at least partially therethrough. The body may include a radial recess. An arm may be movably coupled to the body at a first end portion of the arm. The arm may be within the radial recess in a retracted position and be pivotable in a radially-outward direction relative to the body to an expanded position. A measurement device coupled to the body may measure the pivoting motion of the arm. A piston coupled to the body may be movably coupled to a second end portion of the arm, and the piston may respond to changes in hydraulic pressure to pivot the arm between the retracted position and the expanded position.
