sizer

Ring measurement device

A sizer is a device or tool that determines or adjusts size.

In manufacturing, sizers sort objects by dimension: The apple sizer separates fruit into small, medium, and large.

In software, a sizer is a layout component that manages how interface elements resize.

The word also applies to people who assess size: The ring sizer measured her finger.
