Pipe fall is the total vertical drop across a pipe run, calculated as the pipe length multiplied by the grade percentage divided by 100. For example, a 200-foot run at 1% grade has a pipe fall of 2.00 feet. Pipe fall is used to determine the downstream invert elevation when the upstream invert and grade are known.
Log grade shots, verify elevations, and generate inspector-ready field reports from your phone. No office work required.
