Elevation Grade from Inches per Foot

Elevation Grade from Inches per Foot

This calculator will calculate the drop or rise in inches, the difference in elevation, from a slope expressed in inches per foot.


Example calculation
a 40 foot length of pipe requires a 1/8" drop per foot
40 * 1/8 = 40/8 = 5
The required drop from start of the pipe to the end is 5"
