اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse 'calibre' with 'caliber' and think they are different words; they are the same word with British and American spelling. Another mistake is using it before a noun like an adjective (*'a calibre student'*); in this sense, it is usually used after 'of' (e.g. 'a student of this calibre') or in the fixed phrase 'of high calibre'.

اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think a higher calibre always means a more powerful or better gun. While a larger calibre means a wider bullet or barrel, a weapon’s power also depends on many other factors, such as barrel length and the amount of propellant. Also, note the spelling difference: British English uses 'calibre', while American English usually writes 'caliber'.
معنی
diameter of gun barrel or bullet

اشتباه رایج:
Because this sense is technical, learners may wrongly assume 'calibre' here means 'quality'. In medical or engineering texts, when you read about 'arterial calibre' or 'pipe calibre', it refers to the internal width, not how good or bad the artery or pipe is.
معنی
internal diameter of tube or pipe
ترکیبهای رایج

|vascular calibre
|narrowed calibre

هممعنیها
internal diameter (More explicit and widely understood outside specialist fields; exactly matches the technical idea of 'calibre' in this sense.)
|

متضادها
wall thickness (Not a direct opposite in meaning, but a contrasting measurement that describes the solid part of the tube rather than the hollow interior.)

تعریف
How wide it is inside a tube, pipe, or blood vessel, measured across from side to side.
