Editorial Policy
How Convertools creates, reviews, and maintains calculator and conversion content.
Editorial Scope
Convertools publishes calculators, conversion tools, and reference tables intended for planning, estimating, and educational use. We aim to present formulas and lookup values clearly, with tool-specific FAQs and validation rules for consistency.
Source Selection
When a tool is based on a published standard, code table, or manufacturer data, we prefer primary references and list them in the page's Sources and References section. When a tool is purely formula-based, we document the governing equation and assumptions in the page content and FAQs.
Limitations
Calculator outputs can support planning but do not replace engineering judgment, code review, inspection requirements, or professional sign-off. Local regulations and project-specific conditions take precedence.
Policy FAQs
Common questions about how Convertools publishes and maintains calculator content.
Does Convertools replace code books or engineering review?
No. Convertools is a planning and reference tool. Governing codes, standards, and project requirements always take precedence.
What sources do you prefer?
We prefer primary sources such as standards bodies, code tables, and manufacturer documentation whenever they apply to a calculator.
How do you handle formula-based calculators without a lookup source?
We document the governing formula, assumptions, input validation, and FAQs so users can verify the method and expected use cases.
