Every way of stating a slope comes from one ratio, m = rise ÷ run. The angle from horizontal is arctan m, the percent grade is 100m, the roof pitch is 12m (units of rise per 12 of run), and the rafter factor √(1 + m²) turns a horizontal run into the sloped length. Enter a rise and run, or any one of the other forms, and the rest follow.

The default rise of 6 over a run of 12 is a 6/12 roof: 26.57°, a 50% grade and a rafter factor of 1.1180, so 12 cm of run needs 13.4164 cm of rafter. Ramps and roads use the same numbers: the steepest ramp the 2010 ADA Standards allow, 1:12, is an 8.33% grade, or 4.76°.

Percent grade is not an angle: a 100% grade is 45°, and a vertical face has no finite grade or pitch, so angles must lie between −90° and 90°. A negative rise describes a downhill slope.

## Domande

### How do you convert percent grade to degrees?

Take the arctangent of the grade divided by 100: θ = arctan(grade/100). An 8% road grade is arctan 0.08 = 4.57°, and a 100% grade is 45°, not 90°. The reverse is grade = 100 × tan θ, so a 30° slope is a 57.7% grade.

### What angle is a 6/12 roof pitch?

26.57°. A pitch of x/12 means x units of rise for every 12 of run, so the angle is arctan(x/12): 4/12 is 18.43°, 6/12 is 26.57°, 8/12 is 33.69° and 12/12 is 45°. The rafter factor for 6/12 is √1.25 = 1.118, so 12 ft of horizontal run needs 13.42 ft of rafter before any overhang.

### What is the maximum slope for a wheelchair ramp?

1:12 under the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design (§405.2): one unit of rise for every 12 of run, an 8.33% grade or 4.76°. Each ramp run may rise at most 30 in (§405.6), so a 30 in rise needs a run of at least 30 ft. Other countries set their own limits in their building codes.

### How do you calculate rise over run?

Divide the vertical rise by the horizontal run, both in the same unit: m = rise/run. A roof that rises 6 in over 12 in of run has m = 0.5. Measure the run horizontally, not along the surface: the sloped length here is 13.42 in, and dividing by it gives 0.447, the sine of the angle rather than the slope.

### Quanto è preciso «Pendenza del tetto: angolo, percentuale e dislivello»?

La precisione dipende dai dati inseriti e dalle ipotesi del metodo. Il calcolo decimale usa 50 cifre significative, ma stime, metodi numerici e dati di origine possono essere meno precisi; l’arrotondamento visualizzato non elimina questi limiti. Esempi svolti verificati con fonti indipendenti: 8. Per esempio, «Rise 6, run 12 (a 6/12 roof)» viene verificato con Python 3.8 math: degrees(atan(0.5)), sqrt(1.25), sqrt(6**2 + 12**2).

### Da dove proviene il metodo?
