Baffle - A device used to
restrict or divert the passage of fluid through a pipe
line or channel. In hydraulic systems the device, which
often consists of a disc with a small central perforation,
restricts the flow of hydraulic fluid in a high pressure
line. A common location for the disc is in a joint in
the line. When applied to molds, the term is indicative
of a plug or similar device located in a steam or water
channel in the mold and designed to divert and restrict
the flow to a desired path.
