I don't know the last time you inverted a gallon jug of water but the water
does not come dribbling out. Since its open to the atmosphere it won't
dribble. Or if air can infiltrate from the bottom it won't dribble. I'm not
saying the overlying water dosen't give it pressure. We also don't know how
long it takes to drain.

Joe, could you please explain why the water is ejected at such a high
velocity instead of just dribbling out of the tap?

One does not have to measure that it is open to the atmosphere since
that is a valid datum. It is no assumption. Assuming it is under
pressure is worthless. You did not observe pressure. What experience
would you be talking about? Its incredible to me that there would be any
significant pressure in something open to the atmosphere. That should be
your experience.

That is an assumption, not a measurement.
When the valve is opened it looks to me the device is under
significant pressure. That is an assumption on my part, but based on
observation and experience.
It should not be under that much pressure. The other end should be
open to the atmosphere via the hose. Steam should be flying out the
hole around the thermometer if that much pressure is present.
It would obviously be useful to continuously measure the flow and
pressure of the supply water (since we know for sure that is
variable), and, for safety sake, the pressure just inside the relief
valve.
