North Dakota Area Sheet Metal Training

In spite of technological changes, the Sheet Metal Worker remains nearly the only building tradesperson to start with raw materials, custom-made complex systems, and then install them. Members can transform flat sheets of metal into any size or shape that is required by working from a blueprint or verbal instructions. Sheet Metal Worker involves the fabrication, erection, installation, repairing, replacing and servicing of all residential heating and air conditioning systems and the architectural sheet metal work.

Members will gain a knowledge of heating, cooling and ventilation systems, techniques of welding, and the functions of compressors and condensers in the refrigeration cycle. Includes areas such as solar installation, hoisting and rigging, soldering, and energy management and retrofitting of environmental systems.
​
The three main concepts used for making sheet metal patterns require knowledge of triangulation, radial line and parallel line development.
Most people consider the term "air conditioning" to merely imply cooling the air. But air conditioning is much more comprehensive when the term "conditioning the air" is used. 

Sheet Metal Workers help provide systems, which heat, cool, and ventilate - providing a completely controlled environment.
Sheet Metal Workers also help provide systems that will safely remove fumes, dust, smoke, heat, odors, carbon dioxide and other dangerous contaminants.

Many Sheet Metal Workers also have an important that goes into sign making, hospital and restaurant equipment, aircraft and shipbuilding.
