How Do You Work out Laser Pipe Grade

A pipe grade is the incline or decline at which a pipe is set, and is expressed as a percentage. The grade of the pipe helps manage liquid flow in underground construction projects. This percentage is calculated by dividing the elevation difference by the run of pipe.

How do I calculate my pipe grade?

Divide the pipe’s vertical fall by the length of the pipe, then multiply the result by 100 to find the percentage. The fall and length need to be in the same units (feet or inches) for this to work. For example, if the pipe fell by one foot and was 50 feet long, you divide 1 by 50 to get 0.02.
