For bass clarinet, 1.70mm is a standard medium close tip opening (used on Selmer C*'s and many others). The 24mm is the facing length, the point at which the mouthpiece starts to curve away from the reed/table. In the mouthpiece world, the facing length (and other points measured on the curve) are measured in half millimeters, making 24mm a measurement of "48", which is a medium long facing.

This is a very standard/traditional facing for bass clarinet that generally lends itself to a comfortable blow through and response. The Bb equivalent would be a Vandoren M13 Lyre/M15 or D'Addario X0/X5.
