Editorial Policy

Effective date: Feb 16, 2026

At Pumps & Pumping Equipments, our goal is to publish practical, engineering-focused content that helps industrial readers make safer and better decisions related to pumps and pumping systems.

1) Our Content Standards

• Practical: We focus on plant-relevant decision factors (duty conditions, materials, maintenance realities, failure modes).
• Clear: We explain concepts in a readable way for engineers, technicians, students, and buyers.
• Safety-first: We avoid unsafe “do this blindly” instructions and encourage verification with OEM and plant procedures.
• Original structure: Articles are written to be useful, not just textbook definitions.

2) Topic Selection & Intent

We choose topics based on real-world industrial needs such as:

• Pump selection and sizing logic
• Common failures (cavitation, seal failure, vibration, overheating)
• Applications (water, refinery, chemical, utilities, process plants)
• Maintenance planning and troubleshooting checklists
• Standards awareness (API/ISO references where relevant)

3) Sources & References

We may use publicly available technical references, OEM documentation, standards summaries, and general engineering knowledge. When we mention standards (API/ISO), it is for awareness and context. For final design or compliance, always refer to the official latest standard document and your plant requirements.

4) Review & Update Process

We periodically review key pages, especially buyer guides and troubleshooting posts, and update them when new insights, better explanations, or corrections are needed.

Last Updated Notes

Some articles include a “Last updated” line to indicate maintenance activity and improvements.

5) Author & Expertise

Articles may include a short author note such as:

• Written by: Sumit Marathe (Industrial pumps & fluid handling experience)

6) AI & Content Assistance

We may use tools to assist drafting, formatting, or outlining. However, we aim to ensure content is practical, human-reviewed, and aligned with industrial reality. Any automation is used to improve clarity and speed—not to publish low-value or repetitive content.

7) Corrections Policy

If you find an error or want to suggest an improvement, please contact us. If a correction is required, we will update the content as appropriate.

8) Advertising Policy

This Website may display ads. Ads do not influence our editorial decisions. We do not accept payment to publish misleading technical claims or unsafe recommendations.
