ROP - Right Of Projection
This is a non-technical term used by this document to describe how various measurements deal with the top surface of the weld to calculate measurements like Theoretical Throat.
Right Of Projection Pic0
Basically, the surface of the weld is broken into two pieces. The dividing line is the right edge of the upper plate. Any part of the surface of the weld that is Right of this edge are "Right of the Projection", and the rest are Left of the Projection.
Right Of Projection Pic1
The left points are all projected (parallel to the upper plate) to the edge of the upper plate, where the lowest point is used as a base point in other calculations like the Triangle Slide.
