 Grade (slope) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A grade (or gradient) is the pitch of a slope, and is often expressed as a percent tangent, or "rise over run".
It is used to express the steepness of slope on a hill, roof, or road, where zero indicates level (with respect to gravity) and increasing numbers correlate to more vertical inclinations.
The ambiguities and the small differences that result may permit these two inconsistent approaches to coexist unrecognized, especially where grades considered are 15% or less.
