Liquid will flow down the slope at this gradient without surging and the use of a pump is not needed.
NB
The Roman aquaducts in Europe(France etc.,) have a 2 degree slope. This was to make the water flow, with out surging, and there being no machinery to pump water.
The Archimedean Screw will lift water from a low level to a higher level, but needs the use of a donkey/mule/horse etc., to power rotate the screw.
2 percent slope means a 2 foot vertical change for every 100 feet horizontal distance. So if this was a sewer pipe coming out of your house at ground level, then 100 feet away from your house, it would be 2 feet underground. Percent slope is a non-dimensional term, so you could say 2 meters for every 100 meters as well. This is useful to determine how deep a ditch must be dug, and also how much pipe you will need to buy (since the pipe is the hypotenuse of a triangle, you would need [sqrt(1002 + 22) = 100.02] feet of pipe for every 100 feet horizontal distance. Not much difference but you wouldn't want to run short on a project. More importantly, eventually the drop will be too deep to dig a ditch and a lift station should be installed (a pump which pumps the contents up to a higher level, so that it can start flowing downhill again)
Sometimes you will see signs on a road before a hill (or at the top of a hill) stating 4 percent grade. This has the same meaning (4 foot drop over 100 foot horizontal distance) and is important mainly for truck drivers so that they can apply the brakes accordingly, especially if they are hauling a heavy load, so that the truck doesn't get out of control.

On a house lateral line is the slope a quarter of an inch per every four feet of pipe?
For proper fall. Pipe should slope 1" for every 8'.
What is a 1 in 40 fall mean on drainage pipe?
Oh, dude, a 1 in 40 fall on a drainage pipe means that for every 40 units of horizontal distance, the pipe will drop by 1 unit vertically. It's like the pipe is playing a little game of "let's go downhill slowly" as it carries all that water away. So yeah, it's just a fancy way of saying the pipe is sloping down to help with the drainage.
How many gallons in a 2 pipe 1 foot long?

What is roughness ratio?
In a pipe it is the roughness of the pipe over the diameter of the pipe

What is the slope of a 4 sewer pipe?
1/4 " per ft is average
What is the maximum slope for 4 inch sewer pipe?
1/8th per inch
What is the minimum slope for 110 mm diameter underground sewer pipe?

What is the purpose of a sewer pipe?
The purpose of a sewer pipe is to collect waste from drains and peoples homes and transport it through the sewer system to the sewer plant. There it is treated and the water is recycled.
What is the minimum slope permitted for 2.5 inch underground sewer pipe?
It really depends on your local building code, but 2% should be the minimum so that your pipe will be self-cleaning.
Can you vent air into a sewer vent pipe?
No. You vent air from a sewer line.
What are sewers made out of?
Depending on what kind of sewer, its age, and the utility owner (Storm Sewer, Gravity Sewer, Sewer Forcemain). - Polyvinyl Chloride Pipe (PVC) - Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) - Fiberglass Reinforced Pipe (FRP) - High Density Polyethelyne (HDPE) - Pre-Stressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe - Asbestos Cement - Clay - Steel
How do you get slope for sewer pipe?
First you must calculate the fixture unints that are needed then based on the FU you can then increase the soil/ waste line to allow the needed pitch for the fixture unit value
Can you hook a water drain pipe to a 3'' sewer pipe and it be safe?
If you are talking about a roof water drain pipe to sewer it is illegal. If you are talking about a sink drain pipe well that is where they all connect to so yea.
