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

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.
