what is a TUNDISH VALVE?

Answer 1

A tundish valve is a safety valve which is set to open and let excess water out at a specific pressure, but the main difference is the valve terminates into an open dish type pipe. Imagine your overflow in the roof starting to pour water out of it's pipe. It is designed to be seen, a tundish valve is the same,it allows us engineers to see, hear,and identify the source,also alerting you to the problem.

Answer 2

Good question!

The Tundish folk, originally from the steppes of Tundeland, are well known for their nomadic ways and reclusive culture. so much so that little has been written about their habits and diet.

Crucially important in aswering this question is an appreciation of the difficulties of their diet. The Tundish live almost exclusively on goat products, and only drink goats milk. For years this posed no particular difficulty as they possessed great herds of goats, and grazing was plentiful. But political and agricultural changes have meant that it is no longer so easy for the goats to be grazed all along the course of the nomadic 'way' they follow round the year.

Faced with a choice between abandoning their traditional diet, changing their nomadic route, or innovating, the Tunds determined to do their best to continue in their long-established ways. To do otherwise was to disrupt and, perhaps, destroy their culture. They had long known how to salt and thus preserve goats meat, so the only issue was how to keep goats milk drinkable for long periods.

The solution found to this was both chemical and mechanical. Various additives were found which would ensure that the milk remained drinkable for far longer than normal, provided it was not exposed to air. The Tundish valve solved the problem that presented. It is a device which, when connected to the goatskin container in which the milk is kept, ensures that milk can flow freely out without any air getting in to the bag. The mechanism is an ingenious combination of goats intestine and sinew, stiffened at critical points by goats-teeth pegs.

This piece of ecologically sound technology points a way into the future...

Answer 3

A tundish is a funnel. It frequently refers to the funnel like apparatus used in casting molten metal. A tundish valve is used to control the flow from the tundish, much like the valve on a funnel used to make doughnuts.

Answer 4

A tundish is used on the Installation control valve on a fire protection system to prevnent the accidental ringing of the water motor gong during surges to the supply pressure. The valve is used to isolate the tundish / water supply for maintenance.

Answer 5

The valve that is on a tundish! A tundish is a container for pouring molten metal into a mold, having holes in the bottom to prevent splashing.

Answer 6

As a plumber, I know a tundish as a small, funnel shaped object fitted into an overflow pipe whose end cannot be readily seen. It is there to indicate when the ball-valve is leaking and the cistern overflowing. Where the valve bit comes in, I do not know.

Answer 7

We might be looking at breweries, here - a tundish is a funnel which got its name from a tun - a large cask for beer. Maybe some had valves on? I don't know, but I'm off to the pub and will ask the landlord.

Answer 8

A Tundish valve is often related to the far more common bullfinch bracket, hope this helps

Answer 9

Its a valve that shows if a pressure valve is leaking.

If you have a pressure valve you will normally have tundisk underneath it so you can see if the pressure valve is open or leaking. The waste would go through the middle of the tundish and ( normally) vent outside.

Not sure if this tank has an expansion vessel or an air bubble?If it has a vessel then the air might need recharged.If it has an air bubble then you will need to turn the water off,open the hot taps,close the taps then turn the water back on. The expansion vessel/air bubble acts as a buffer for the expanding water when it heats up.If there is none then the expanding water will discharge from the pressure relief valve. If you feel the water is hotter than usual then the fault could be with the heat source.This will be either be the immersor or the boiler if the tank is indirect.The immersor should have a thermal cut off so check the expansion vessel first.
