Exact answer, measurement guidance, and nearby sizes
Direct answer and formula
31 mm is 1.2204724409 inches; the unrounded value is exactly 155/127 inch.
31 ÷ 25.4 = 1.2204724409 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 1.2205 in. The nearest 1/64-inch mark is 1 7/32 in, differing by 0.04375 mm; the nearest 1/32-inch mark is 1 7/32 in, differing by 0.04375 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.
Clearance-hole comparison
Use 31 mm in this clearance-hole comparison workflow: a measured hole or fastener clearance is listed in millimeters and needs comparison with inch tooling. Here the metric/imperial counterpart is 1.2204724409 inches. Compare actual diameters and the specified fit class; do not choose a tool solely from the nearest fraction.
- Compare actual diameters and the specified fit class; do not choose a tool solely from the nearest fraction.
- Thread form, pitch, plating, and hole tolerance are not represented by diameter conversion.
Illustrative measurement workflow; it does not claim that this value is a standard product size.
Editorial measurement check
If the value came from a drawing, carry its tolerance and revision context alongside the converted unit.
For repeated spacing, evaluate the end-position error after all intervals instead of judging one interval in isolation.
Check both sides of the tolerance range after conversion; a matching center value can still hide an unacceptable limit.
Nearby comparison and substitution boundary
Rounding to the nearest 1/64 inch selects 1 7/32 inch only for measurements from 30.757812 mm up to (but not including) 31.154688 mm under half-up tie handling. For substitution, require an allowed dimensional deviation of at least 0.04375 mm and check the application-specific fit.
Candidate: 1 7/32 inch; absolute difference: 0.04375 mm.
Questions about this exact conversion
What does 31 mm equal after conversion?
31 mm is 1.2204724409 inches; the unrounded value is exactly 155/127 inch.
When is a fractional or rounded value acceptable for 31 mm?
The factor 25.4 mm per inch is exact. A 4-decimal display is 1.2205 in. The nearest 1/64-inch mark is 1 7/32 in, differing by 0.04375 mm; the nearest 1/32-inch mark is 1 7/32 in, differing by 0.04375 mm. Use a fraction only when its stated error is smaller than the allowed tolerance; otherwise retain the decimal.
Does converting 31 mm guarantee the parts or dimensions will fit?
Compare actual diameters and the specified fit class; do not choose a tool solely from the nearest fraction. Thread form, pitch, plating, and hole tolerance are not represented by diameter conversion.
How far is the nearest practical rounded size from 31 mm?
Rounding to the nearest 1/64 inch selects 1 7/32 inch only for measurements from 30.757812 mm up to (but not including) 31.154688 mm under half-up tie handling. For substitution, require an allowed dimensional deviation of at least 0.04375 mm and check the application-specific fit.
