There's no point in having a tundish if it isn't sited where it can be seen. The point is so that the discharge is apparent. Having said that, I've been to customers with BG contracts and the BG engineers haven't bothered to check the discharge pipe outside when a loss of system pressure has been reported.
i agree that the tundish should be sited where discharge will be seen, however the main point of the tundish is to provide an airgap to prevent backflow. what would happen if someone didn't observe the g3 regs and the bend on the discharge was too close to the valve causing discharge to slow up to the point the tank still exploded...............the tundish provides egress for expanding 100 plus degree steam in emergency situations in which a baddly fitted pipe causes a hinderance.
