An instrument for measuring curves or the curvature of a surface; essentially another term for curvimeter.
From Latin 'curvus' (curved) and Greek '-metron' (measure). This term is a variant of 'curvimeter' using the Greek instead of Latin suffix combination.
Curvometers and curvimeters are subtly different—curvometers measure how much something is curved, while curvimeters measure the length of curves, though the terms are often used interchangeably.
