According to the requirements many different types of joints are used in sheet metal work. 

A lap joint is very frequently used and can be prepared by means of soldering or riveting.

Seam joint is a very commonly used one. It is locked so as to ensure a positive grip and also to make the joint flush with the surface.

Hem (single and double) wired edge, cup and angular enables the edges to join the pieces along them.

The cap joint provides another useful form of locked seam joint.

  1. Single-plane three-hinged Metal joints make do with one-sided angularly flexible expansion joints, while multi-plane three-hinged systems for absorbing thermal expansion in three axial directions require at least two gimbal expansion joints that are angularly flexible on all sides. The following basic rules apply to angular compensation
