Title: Trouble Shooting Of Valve Failure
Author: Earl Mitchell

Abstract: The type of valve units are named after the nomenclature of the moving/sealing member of the complete valve. There are six (6) basic compressor valve types in use today which have withstood the exacting test of time in use. They are: a) Plate b) Ring c) Poppet d) Channel e) Feather and f) Reed. Each of these valve types have acceptable records of uses in our gas industry with only limited use of the Reed type. However, in all valve designs it is necessary to make compromises and it is in this area we must concentrate our powers of observations when we are determining reasons for valve failure.
