01 · Sources

Prefer inspectable sources

Product claims are checked against current first-party product pages. Workflow guidance is separated from vendor claims, and unsupported savings or accuracy figures are not published as facts.

02 · Review

Review the practical record

The editorial desk checks whether a reader can identify the source, owner, exception, correction, approval, and handoff state described by the page.

03 · Corrections

Correct material errors visibly

Material corrections update the review date and the affected explanation. Readers can report an issue through the primary Piping.Tools support channel.

Commercial separation

WeldLog publishes guidance about weld log templates, fields, examples, and QA checklists. Product access may link to Piping.Tools, but the editorial method does not treat that destination as proof of a claim.
