If you want to find the roof pitch in the form of x 12 simply calculate the pitch and substitute 12 for the run length.
Roof pitch conversion to degrees.
Select inches to enter decimal inches or millimeters for metric.
Roof slope calculator example of use.
With the use of this converter it will be easier for you to locate a 30 degree roof pitch 20 degree roof pitch 25 degree roof pitch or a 15 degree roof pitch.
Both are referring to angles.
Roof pitch slope roof angle degree 1 12 pitch.
Many different professions use slope in describing an angle.
Pitch tan angle where angle is the roof pitch expressed in degrees.
How to convert roof pitch to degrees to find the angle of a roof in degrees convert the pitch to a slope then convert to degrees by finding the arc tangent of the slope.
Degrees tan 1 43 calculated out this gives an angle of 23 27 degrees.
The value displayed as the rise will be your x.
If a roof or ramp rises 4 in a length of 12 the pitch is 4 in 12 which is 18 43 or 33 33 grade enter base length to calculate rise and diagonal for current pitch angle.
First convert the pitch to a slope.
Rise run rise run slope.
To do this simply convert the rise and run as a fraction to a decimal form eg.
Sometimes slope is referred to as pitch angle rise incline or grade.
Other than the 45 roof slope which is 12 in 12 none of the standard roof pitches 5 in 12 6 in 12 etc are equal to a whole degree.
For example in construction you may refer to the pitch of a roof or the grade of a slab.
