An overflow valve works by sensing the pressure up pipe from itself. The valve has a specified pressure level, which it maintains by use of a coil spring mechanism, which opens when the inlet, or downstream pressure, begins to rise while the upstream pressure goes down. In an emergency situation in which the inlet pressure is too high, some overflow valves are designed to alert operators, while others may fail. 2, record 5, English, - overflow%20valve

In moulding rubber articles, it is necessary to use a blank of slightly greater volume than the mould cavity. This excess is forced out at the mould register during vulcanization and is known as "spew". It is usually accommodated in the spew groove. The term spew is also applied to the rubber extruded through release holes drilled at the edges of some extruder dies to even up the flow of rubber and produce an accurate section. 3, record 7, English, - spew
