How to draw “section-size” arrows using tikz
2
I searched for problems like this, but couldn't find any approach. Then, I don't believe this is a duplicated question.
The question is: how to draw section-size arrow marks (like the one shown in the picture) using tikz.

Sorry, what does section-sized mean? Trydocumentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone} begin{document} begin{tikzpicture} node (tmp) {$phi$}; draw (tmp.north east) -- ++ (-3,0); draw (tmp.south east) -- ++ (-3,0); draw[<-] (tmp.north) -- ++ (0,0.5); draw[<-] (tmp.south) -- ++ (0,-0.5); end{tikzpicture} end{document}.

Hi @marmot. I mean that I would like to draw those couple of arrows that point to each other indicating the size of a section (because is generally used to point diameter of pipes, etc). I know how to draw them separately... but is there a way to draw at once using a simple code?

I guess I got most confused by the fact that section has several meanings. So you are talking about diameters, and not the things that come with thesectioncommand, right?

tikz-dimline was designed for this pourpose. Following code is an example from its documentation.
documentclass[tikz, border=2mm]{standalone}
usepackage{tikz-dimline}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.5]
draw[help lines] (-1,-1) grid (4,7);
draw (0,0) -- (0,4) -- (.5,4) -- (.5,5) -- (1.,5) -- (1.,4) -- (1.5,4) -- (1.5,0)
-- cycle;
dimline[color=blue,
extension start length=-0.25, extension end length=-0.25]{(2.75,0)}{(2.75,4)}{4.0};
dimline[color=red,
line style={arrows=dimline reverse-dimline reverse},
label style={above=0.8ex,font=tiny},
extension start length=1,
extension end length=1]{(0.5,5.6)}{(1.0,5.6)}{0.5};

An other approach using the To path operation :
documentclass[border=5mm,tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,calc}
tikzset{
diameter/.style={to path={},
execute at end to={
draw[Stealth-](tikztostart)--($(tikztostart)!-0.5cm!(tikztotarget)$);
draw[Stealth-](tikztotarget)--($(tikztotarget)!-0.5cm!(tikztostart)$);
path (tikztostart)--(tikztotarget) tikztonodes;
},
}
}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw(0,0)--(2,0);
draw(0,1)--(2,1);
path[diameter] (0.5,0)to node{(phi)}(1,1);
path[diameter] (1.5,0)to node{(phi)}(1.5,1);
end{tikzpicture}

An other approach using the To path operation :
documentclass[border=5mm,tikz]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,calc}
tikzset{
diameter/.style={to path={},
execute at end to={
draw[Stealth-](tikztostart)--($(tikztostart)!-0.5cm!(tikztotarget)$);
draw[Stealth-](tikztotarget)--($(tikztotarget)!-0.5cm!(tikztostart)$);
path (tikztostart)--(tikztotarget) tikztonodes;
},
}
}
begin{document}
begin{tikzpicture}
draw(0,0)--(2,0);
draw(0,1)--(2,1);
path[diameter] (0.5,0)to node{(phi)}(1,1);
path[diameter] (1.5,0)to node{(phi)}(1.5,1);

Sorry, what does section-sized mean? Try
documentclass[tikz,border=3.14mm]{standalone} begin{document} begin{tikzpicture} node (tmp) {$phi$}; draw (tmp.north east) -- ++ (-3,0); draw (tmp.south east) -- ++ (-3,0); draw[<-] (tmp.north) -- ++ (0,0.5); draw[<-] (tmp.south) -- ++ (0,-0.5); end{tikzpicture} end{document}.– marmot
