What is the general rule for finding the proper rivet diameter?

  1. Twice the thickness of the thickest sheet

  2. Equal to the thickness of the thickest sheet

  3. Three times the thickness of the thickest sheet

  4. Four times the thickness of the thickest sheet

The correct answer is: Three times the thickness of the thickest sheet

When determining the proper rivet diameter, the general rule is to use a diameter that is three times the thickness of the thickest sheet being joined. This is because using a rivet diameter that is three times the thickness of the thickest sheet provides the necessary strength and integrity for the riveted joint. Options A, B, and D do not follow this standard rule and therefore are not correct.
