How to Calculate the Slope

Calculation of the slope can be useful when surveying work when calculating a slope of the roof, or for other purposes. Well, if you have a special device for the measurement data, but if it is not - do not worry, it will be enough roulette and improvised.

You will need

- Inclinometer;

- The transmitter;

- Level;

- Roulette;

- Rack;

- Calculator;

- Level.

The easiest way is to consider the slope using inclinometer, if you haven’t, you can buy inclinometer at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other electronics (e.g. digital MP4) there with high quality and reasonable prices. Or you can make this tool yourself. Take the rail and attach it to the frame, in the corner of the rack, position the axis of the pendulum. The pendulum is made of two rings, plates, sinker and a pointer. When measuring bob will move between the guides with the notches, place a scale with divisions, making it with a protractor.

Attach the rail at right angles to the ridge to measure roof pitch and a look at what the division of the scale pointer stopped. You will receive the value of the slope in degrees. To measure the slope with the help of available resources without creating special device, mentally build a right-angled triangle, the inclined side of which will coincide with the inclined surface, one leg is parallel to the ground, and the second - perpendicular. Now your task is to find at least two sides of the triangle.

On a plot of land or a road, you can use leveling. Determine with the help of the height of a point above sea level, and see the difference and the distance between the points tape. If leveling is not, just taking a long board and place it horizontally (align the national level-or way). At the bottom of this sheet under the board bricks or other available means. Measure the length and height of the board of bricks.
