Verified route guide
Exact answer, measurement guidance, and nearby sizes
Direct answer and formula
120 mm is 4.7244094488 inches; the unrounded value is exactly 600/127 inch.
120 ÷ 25.4 = 4.7244094488 inches
Basis: 1 inch = 25.4 mm exactly (international inch definition)
Rounding, fractions, and tolerance
The factor 25.4 mm per inch is exact. A 4-decimal display is 4.7244 in. The nearest 1/64-inch mark is 4 23/32 in, differing by 0.14375 mm; the nearest 1/32-inch mark is 4 23/32 in, differing by 0.14375 mm. Use a fraction only when its stated error is smaller than the allowed tolerance; otherwise retain the decimal.
A nearby rounded size is acceptable only when its absolute difference is within the documented dimensional tolerance and all non-dimensional compatibility checks pass.
Panel layout translation
A panel drawing gives a cut or hole-center dimension in millimeters while the shop worksheet uses inches. For this route, 120 mm converts to 4.7244094488 inches. Place the decimal dimension from the same reference edge and round only to the tool’s usable resolution.
- Place the decimal dimension from the same reference edge and round only to the tool’s usable resolution.
- Accumulated layout error matters more than any one converted mark when several dimensions chain together.
Illustrative measurement workflow; it does not claim that this value is a standard product size.
Editorial measurement check
Treat the source dimension as a controlled observation; preserve whether it represents a minimum, maximum, target, or nominal label.
Where a nominal description is involved, obtain an actual dimension before making a fit or substitution decision.
Verify the final setting with the instrument or template used in the real workflow before releasing the dimension.
Nearby comparison and substitution boundary
Rounding to the nearest 1/64 inch selects 4 23/32 inch only for measurements from 119.657812 mm up to (but not including) 120.054688 mm under half-up tie handling. For substitution, require an allowed dimensional deviation of at least 0.14375 mm and check the application-specific fit.
Candidate: 4 23/32 inch; absolute difference: 0.14375 mm.
