Re: Side Slope Measuring Device?
The slope % comes from the amount of rise divided by the run.
Example: 1000 ft. rise divided by 3000 ft. run = .60 or 60%
This is the way roads are listed on grade signs.
They use the same method for side slope. 4/10 = .40 or 40%
Calculating the angle gives 21.80 degrees.
The gage must be mounted vertically to be accurate.
Best regards, Happy Jack
