This continues to cause confusion when discussing designs especially within this Silencersmithing sub-Forum.
I see lots and lots of back and forth posts just trying to get straight exactly what feature someone is talking about.
I thought it would be beneficial if we had a common reference point so I've created a drawing that calls out the various
features of a typical K-baffle. My intent is for this to be a work in progress until such time as the moderators and more experienced smithers
can come to agreement on the terms. Then we could lock it down and create a sticky.
I've left plenty of room on the drawing for notes and extra terms to be added.
That way, at least within this forum, everyone would be on the same page when describing a design AND someone new like myself could be referred to this page as sort of a K-baffle glossary.
So if you could please provide your feedback of what you think each term should be called:
For example:
A = Cone
C = Rim... or whatever
And I will update the drawing accordingly once a concensus has been reached for each term.
Obviously feel free to change my terms as you see fit. These are just the terms I have been using.
Regards,
SST
PS I realize that there are many different offshoot K-baffle designs, and that is part of the cause for all the confusion. So even though I think I've captured the most common features in my drawing I know there will still be some confusion. My hope is that this thread will help to cut down on some of it.
