Pitch to Angle Calculator

What is a Pitch to Angle Calculator?

A Pitch to Angle Calculator is a tool used to convert the pitch of a roof or inclined surface, typically represented as a ratio, to the corresponding angle of inclination in degrees.

This conversion helps understand the steepness of a roof or surface.

Why Use a Pitch to Angle Calculator?

This calculator is useful for architects, builders, and homeowners who need to understand and work with the angle of inclination of roofs and inclined surfaces.

It provides a clear measurement in degrees, making it easier to visualize and work with.

How to Use a Pitch to Angle Calculator:

1. Enter the pitch ratio in the format of "X:Y," where X is the vertical rise and Y is the horizontal run.
2. Click the "Convert Pitch to Angle" button.
3. The calculator will display the angle of inclination in degrees.

Example Calculation:

• Pitch Ratio: 3:12

Angle in Degrees ≈ 14.04 degrees

In this example, a pitch ratio of 3:12 corresponds to an angle of inclination of approximately 14.04 degrees.

This calculation provides a clear understanding of the roof's steepness in terms of degrees, which can be useful for various construction and design purposes.
