Depends on the accuracy you want.
A caliper will get you close.
A micrometer will get a more accurate reading but you have to be careful of how much measuring force you use.
The most accurate is called a Shadow graph.
It projects light over an object and magnifies the shadow onto a projection screen that has vernier markings.
This way you will not distort your string and a highly accurate measurement can be taken.
Of course the absolute measurement tool is a laser.

Suggest - a bulk caliper. This works like a caliper but has a measured force applied to give a consistent reading for compressible stuff. A vernier or micrometer can compress it in a big way and give misleading results.

the dimensions of a pipe is what's pronounced as a nominal interior diameter. A time table 40 a million" pipe will degree a million" interior diameter. A time table 80 a million" pipe will degree the similar OD by means of truth the time table 40 yet may be smaller interior.

micrometer screw gauge.... one question, why do you need to measure the thickness of the string?

Don't know. A fine set of callipers might work.
