CHANTILLY, Va. - The Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors' National Association (SMACNA) has announced that the newly revised third edition of the Sheet Metal Welding Guide is now available.
According to SMACNA, this edition reflects the latest welding technology and methods.

The safety chapter covers such items as health effects, hazard controls, and safety procedures. Other chapters include guidelines for developing welding procedures, controlling weld quality, estimating, hiring and training welders, and welder certification.
This new publication features updated figures and drawings of typical welded joint designs.
