There are many ways to find out what the diameter of any musical instrument string is.
If you know how the harp is classed (classical pedal-harp, Irish Harp (usually requires the number of strings,) celtic floor-harp, etc.) then you can contact the maker of the harp, the maker of similar harps, or the maker of string sets for similar harps and ask.
You can also use a caliper or a micrometer with appropriate extensions to measure the diameter just like you would measure anything else using those tools. Since getting a good measurement requires some specialized knowledge and training, it might be advisable to seek out a machine shop where they will have the appropriate tools and experience with using them.
A note: if you want this information to buy a replacement string, it is possible to measure the strings on both sides, then buy a string with a diameter that is the mean of the measured strings. Also, when replacing strings it is important to know if the string set already on the harp is gut, nylon, which strings are wound and with what variety of materials, etc. A harp-maker can be of tremendous help here; you can find them online, and many of them are likely to be able to help you identify the string you need through email discussion.

How can you tell when a guitar string is old?
Old guitar strings sound dull - they lack the tonal richness of fresh strings, whether they are nylon or steel. Older strings are also difficult to keep in tune; their lack of elasticity will mean that older strings will often go audibly off-tune even after a few minutes continuous playing. In the case of metal strings the strings will also look dull, and will be prone to metal-fatigue (making them more likely to snap during tuning or playing). --------------------------- Assuming were talking about steel strings, some musicians replace them after each performance or practice session. There is no accurate answer. As a rule, a casual player should replace the strings at least once a year and some would say 6 months. If you look closely or rub them and there is any corrosion at all - they definitely need to be replaced because their ability to produce accurate tones is compromised. If someone gave you and old guitar and you think it sounds pretty good, play it until one of the strings breaks.
