175mm

175 millimeters (mm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 0.175 meters. It is also equivalent to 17.5 centimeters or approximately 6.89 inches. As a decimal submultiple of the meter, 175 mm is commonly used to specify dimensions for parts, components, and spaces in science, engineering, and manufacturing.

Common uses and contexts: In mechanical design and production, dimensions are often given in millimeters, so 175 mm can denote the length, width, height, or spacing of features on a part. In bicycles, 175 mm is a widely used crank-arm length. Some brake components, tooling, and enclosure dimensions also appear in 175 mm variants.

Conversions and notation: Because 1 inch equals exactly 25.4 mm, 175 mm converts to 6.89 inches when rounded to two decimals. In meters, it is 0.175 m. The exactness of the millimeter makes it practical for precise manufacturing specifications and quality control.

Context and interpretation: The significance of the value 175 mm depends on the specific application and the tolerance allowed in a given design. As with other metric dimensions, its meaning is determined by the part or system being described rather than by the number itself.
