Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

In FEET, if a pipe run is 100 feet long and each stick of pipe is 20 feet long, how is this calculated? How is pipe pro-rated per joint?
If the plan provides an elevation of 23.50 to 26.50 and the run is 100 feet long, how is the percentage of all calculated mathematically?
I've done this before, but I cannot remember the calculations.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Rise/Run gives you percentage of slope, so: (26.50 - 23.50') / 100' = 0.03 Multiply by 100 if you want to use the % sign.
At 3%, each foot will rise (or fall) by 0.03 feet, so each 20' joint will have an elevation change of 0.6 feet. (20' * 0.03)
