The angle of the roof slope, measured as "X" inches per 12" (x/12) Roof pitches commonly range from 4/12 to 8/12 To calculate a roof's pitch, place a carpenter's level positioned level on roof line, measure out 12" on the level, from that 12" point measure down to the roof line This figure (i e 4" to 8") is the first number of the pitch
It is used in calking the seams of ships; also in coating rope, canvas, wood, ironwork, etc
