Howdy doody. I've been reading this thread for quite some time, and I'm blown away by the amount of knowledge here. I've been interested in milling my own block (or having the machinists at work do it for me
) for a long time, so I'm trying to follow along with the theory.
My question is: Is it only path diameter that determines wheather a block is low-flow or not? For example, the block pictured at xjinn.procooling.com would be a low flow, correct?
And as for turbulators, I came up with the idea of using taps, and just tapping the entire length of the cross sectional paths. The threads are perpendicular to the flow of water, and would thus cause turbulent flow, at least imo.
