Reed Valve is a Flapper valve steel component used in different types of compressors for effective control of gas, fuel and air. A careful & controlled manufacturing process is essential for the proper function & longer service life of a Flapper Reed Valve. Flapper Reed valves must be capable of working continuously for long periods without failure.
Flapper valves are used In :
1. Refrigerators
2. Vacuum Pumps
3. Heat Pumps
4. Air Conditioners
5. Industrial Air Compressors
6. Freezers
7. Brake Systems
Strip thickness over 0.508 mm (.020 inch):
Rmax maximum 2.5~m (100 u inch)
Ra = maximum 0.25 ~m (10 u inch)*
*Cut off 0.25 mm (0.01 inch)
Surfaces Finish. Bright, fine & polished Strip thickness max. 0.508 mm (<0.020 inch):
Rmax = maximum 1.5 ~m (60 u inch)
Ra = maximum 0.13 ~m (5.2 u inch)*
FLATNESS - Extra accurate
This means a maximum out-of-flatness across and along the strip of max. 0.20% of the nominal strip width.

High quality Martensentic chromium, stainless steel, alloyed with molybdenum give better corrosion resistant and higher fatigue strength resulting in a more efficient compressor because of lower flow losses across the valve.
