Editorial policy

Every figure names its source and read date

A technical figure, such as a temperature range, a hardness, a dimension or a specification's status, is printed with the document it came from and the date that document was read, for example "read 2026-09-24". The source appears in the same sentence, in a table's source line or in the page's list of sources. That lets you look up the same document and check the figure yourself.

Industry figures are labeled as typical

Some figures describe a process in general rather than a particular part, such as the tolerance and kerf published for waterjet-cut gaskets. Those are labeled as typical industry figures and name who published them. Such a figure is never presented as a Conquest Seal machine specification or as a promise for a particular order; the quote confirms what applies to your part.

Specifications are read from the official record

A military or aerospace specification's status and current revision are read from the official record that publishes it, such as the DLA ASSIST database or SAE's own records, and the page gives the date of that reading. A document is called canceled, inactive or superseded only when that record says so. The mil-spec O-ring chart works this way, with each document's status and the dates its records were read.

Manufacturer data stays the manufacturer's

A temperature range, a hardness or another property taken from a manufacturer's datasheet or handbook is attributed to that manufacturer by name. It describes that manufacturer's compound or product, never a Conquest Seal test or product, because Conquest Seal supplies those parts rather than making them. Where published sources differ, the page names the source of each figure, and the compound's own datasheet governs the final choice. The O-ring materials page shows how this reads in practice.

Nothing is estimated or invented

When no source on file gives a figure, the page leaves it out or says that none is on file; a missing figure is never estimated or filled in. A converted unit, such as millimeters from inches, is calculated from the source figure and checked against it. The site publishes no invented examples, test results or testimonials, and no customer names. Facts about Conquest Seal itself, such as its certificate, founding year and record retention periods, come from the company's own documents and records.

Trademarks are marked

A brand name that belongs to another company carries its registered mark at its first mention on a page, and the page says whose trademark it is and that no affiliation or endorsement is implied. Brand names identify the product a print or a buyer asks for; they never suggest that Conquest Seal makes that product or speaks for its owner.

Review and dates

Before a page is published, its figures are traced to their sources and checked for consistency across the site, and its wording is reviewed for sourcing, trademark marking and what it says about Conquest Seal. Reviewed pages carry a reviewer line naming who reviewed them, and pages show the date they were last updated; a page that does not show its date yet gets it at its next revision. When a page is corrected, its date moves with the correction.

Reporting an error

If a figure, a source or a date looks wrong, send the page address and what you found through the contact page or to sales@conquestseal.com. The report is checked against the source document, and a confirmed error is corrected on the page itself. Questions about a part or an order go through the request-a-quote page.
